Venezuela unesco sites — Venezuela UNESCO sites

Venezuela UNESCO has registered 3 sites on the World Heritage list and 3 on the tentative list.

Some places are so interesting that it’s relevant to keep them for future generations. This is why UNESCO has built a list of crucial classified properties in which superb places stand out for their aesthetic, natural, artistic, or cultural significance.

More than a thousand places are registered as Unesco’s World Heritage worldwide. Due to my interest in visiting World Heritage sites, I compiled the UNESCO list in Venezuela and the corresponding map.

The campus is a masterpiece of modern architecture and urban planning, with buildings and open spaces integrated to form a harmonious whole.
Coro and its Port: Coro is a city in Venezuela, founded in 1527. Its historic center declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993, is one of the best-preserved examples of a Spanish colonial town in the Caribbean. The port of La Vela de Coro, located nearby, is also part of the World Heritage site.
Canaima National Park is a vast wilderness area bordering Guyana and Brazil in southeastern Venezuela. The park is home to unique geological formations, including the famous tepuis (table-top mountains), some of Earth’s oldest geological formations. Canaima is also home to several indigenous communities and a wide variety of flora and fauna, including Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world.
