Descripción
Sumario:UNESCO guidelines designate historic city centers, and natural spaces (such as the Amazon region or the Galapagos Islands), as World Heritage Sites. UNESCO also includes a variety of crafts, rituals, oral traditions, performing arts, and other cultural practices under the intangible cultural heritage categories.
