Our heritage

cinqueterre.jpg It is truth, our world is, to say it with nice words, pretty stressed out. All this historical bad politics, our terrible behaviour towards nature and our denial to evolve as human beings have, of course, their consequences. But for our fortune, others were thinking about us -and perhaps without deserving it- they left for our enjoyment, the most incredible and fascinating heritage in the world. UNESCO, while seeking to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity, created the World Heritage List, uniting and reflecting the beauty of diversity and uniqueness all countries have. Despite the hideous idea of frontiers, World Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located.With about 878 places around the planet -and updating- this list is very inspirational and in fact a great cultural and rich travel guide!
