UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Latin America

Below are some of the best UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Latin America. There are currently many sites listed, so narrowing this list down to only 5 was quite the task.

² Chichen Itza, Mexico

The centre of pilgrimage for more than 1,000 years and previously the Yucatán’s most powerful city, the Mayans really did us a favour by creating Chichen Itza. One of the greatest places to visit in Mexico, there’s still so much to enjoy here from ancient carvings in the structures to sound and light shows in the evenings. Highlighted by El Castillo, the striking 30-meter step pyramid makes Chichen Itza stand out among Mexico’s best ruins.

² Easter Island, Chile

This remote Polynesian island is famed for its 887 surviving monumental statues. With monuments dating back to the 10th century, the landscape is unlike any other you’ll ever see.

² Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala

The former Guatemalan capital is an amazingly well-preserved colonial city known for its colonial church ruins and Spanish Baroque architecture. In 1773, the earthquake-prone area was majorly damaged by an earthquake, which led to its main structures being preserved as ruins and the capital being moved to Guatemala City.

² Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

While Rio is known for many things, its carioca landscapes definitely take the cake. The landscapes comprise major natural elements that have moulded the development of the city and stretch from the top of Tijuca National Park’s highest peak at 1,021 meters down to the sea. Some of its key sites are the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, hills around Guanabara Bay, and the renowned Christ the Redeemer statue.

² Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina

Highlighting the list of the most beautiful places in the world, glacial lakes and rugged mountains are only the beginning of one of South America’s best parks. With ? of the park being covered in ice, the glaciers are some of the most accessible in the world. Wildlife viewing, hiking, and climbing are super popular here along with helicopter rides over the park.
