Cultural Tours & World Heritage Sites by Elite Travel Consulting

In addition to our cultural tours, we can easily customize a tour to one of the World Heritage Sites that are easily accessible.

World Heritage sites belong to all of us – to enjoy, experience, and protect. Through Friends of World Heritage you can help protect the natural and cultural wonders of the world; explore the majesty of these places, recognized for their “outstanding value to humanity” under UNESCO’s World Heritage Convention; and experience for yourself the marvels of our World Heritage by allowing us to customize your tour of one of these amazing sites.

What is World Heritage?
What do the Taj Mahal, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route have in common? They're all World Heritage sites—treasures of humanity prized by historians, ecologists, and art lovers, as well as by their own communities. Hide The world has recognized 851 unique places—natural, cultural, and mixed—as World Heritage sites through a convention coordinated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Sites include:

• Many national parks in the U.S. and Canada, like Yellowstone, Banff, and the Everglades

• Well-known cultural attractions like Tikal, Machu Picchu, and Versailles

• Important biosphere preserves like the Serengeti, Great Barrier Reef, and Mexico's Sian Ka'an bird sanctuary

• Places of archeological, historical, or evolutionary significance, including the cave paintings of Lascaux, Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned), and the Galapagos Islands, which helped inspire Darwin's theory of natural selection

UNESCO works to identify, protect, and preserve these cultural and natural sites around the world. Learn more about World Heritage by visiting whc.unesco.org, www.friendsofworldheritage.org, and www.unfoundation.org.
