Location of World Heritage Sites in Panama

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972.[1] Cultural heritage consists of monuments (such as architectural works, monumental sculptures, or inscriptions), groups of buildings, and sites (including archaeological sites). Natural features (consisting of physical and biological formations), geological and physiographical formations (including habitats of threatened species of animals and plants), and natural sites which are important from the point of view of science, conservation, or natural beauty, are defined as natural heritage.[2] Panama accepted the convention on 3 March 1978.[3] It has five World Heritage Sites, with a further two on the tentative list.[3]

The first site in Panama added to the list was the Fortifications on the Caribbean Side of Panama: Portobelo-San Lorenzo, in 1980. The most recent site listed was the Coiba National Park and its Special Zone of Marine Protection, in 2005.[3] Two sites are listed for their cultural significance and three for natural significance. The Talamanca Range-La Amistad Reserves / La Amistad National Park is shared with Costa Rica. Panama has served as a member of the World Heritage Committee from 1978 to 1985.[3]
