The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance——to cultural/natural heritage as described in the: UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972. 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. Brazil accepted the "convention on 1 September 1977 ," making its sites eligible for inclusion on the list.
There are 23 World Heritage Sites in Brazil, and a further 23 sites on its tentative list. The first site in Brazil, the Historic Town of Ouro Preto, was inscribed on the list at the 4th Session of the World Heritage Committee, held in Paris, France in 1980. The most recent site, the Sítio Roberto Burle Marx, was inscribed in 2021. Among the 23 sites, 15 are listed for their cultural significance. Seven sites are listed for their natural significance, and one site, Paraty and Ilha Grande - Culture and "Biodiversity," is listed for both. One site is transnational: the Jesuit Missions of the Guaranis is shared with Argentina. Brazil has served on the World Heritage Committee four times.

Site | Image | Location (state) | Year listed | UNESCO criteria | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Serra da Bocaina National Park | ![]() |
São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro | 1996 | Natural: (vii)(x) | This is a protected part of the Atlantic tropical forest situated on the coast between the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The area, of unusual beauty, is half-way between two of the largest cities in Brazil: São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The national park covers 100000 hectares, is a fine example of protected oceanic forest, and has a rich variety of fauna, including many species threatened with extinction. It is also one of our rare protected sites along the coast. |
Raso da Catarina Ecological Station | Bahia | 1996 | Natural: (vii)(ix) | The area of Raso da Catarina is considered to be, one of the most arid zones in Brazil. Owing to the lack of natural springs and to the fact that the rivers frequently run dry, this vast area has remained virtually untouched. It is a flat area covered with brushwood, including cacti and exotic plants which provide one of the rare sources of water at certain times of the year. In some places there are sand formations resembling canyons, pillars and walls, mainly hollowed out by rainwater. These provide a refuge for birds as well as being interesting from a scenic point of view. The flora and fauna, however, are the greatest attraction of the Raso da Catarina. | |
Taim Ecological Station | Rio Grande do Sul | 1996 | Natural: (ix)(x) | Situated in the district of Santa Vitória do Palmar and Rio Grande, this station covers an area of 32000 hectares near the Uruguayan border. Taim si public property which has been declared an area of ecological interest, with a vast lagoon system partly formed by the Mirim, Jacaré, Nicola and Mangueira lagoons. Most of the marshland along the southern coast of Brazil is interesting on account of its biotic communities and its rich wildlife. The area at Taim has about 10 km of ocean beaches, mobile dunes and areas where sand and creeping vegetation alternate. | |
Biological reserve Rocas Atoll | ![]() |
Rio Grande do Norte | 1996 | Natural: (vii)(ix) | This covers the small islands and ocean area around the only true atoll in the Atlantic; the area was established as a wildlife reserve in June 1979.

It is a fine example of equatorial rain-forest and its highest slopes are shrouded in misty forest, owing to the constant high humidity. There is also a rich variety of wildlife. Furthermore, the park contains at least two Pleistocene sites, and offers areas of great scenic beauty, such as the Morro dos seis Lagos. | |
Gustavo Capanema Palace | ![]() |

Serra da Capivara National Park and Permanent Preservation Areas | ![]() |
Piauí | 1998 | Mixed: (iii)(iv)(vii)(viii)(ix)(x) | Three geomorphologic units shape the area: 1. west of the area, arenite metamorphic high plateau's (Planalto), 500-630 m high, with homogeneous plane.

(iii)(iv)(v)(vii)(viii)(ix)(x) |
The Peruaçu valley's canyons, caves, galleries and permanent water favoured human occupation since as soon as 12.000 years ago.

Plane or undulated highlands are isolated by cliffs, precipices and steep slopes where softer stilts and micas abruptly replace the hard quartz cover, allowing differential erosion. Hundreds of streams originating on the plateau's flow downwards in spectacular waterfalls and cascades. Sierra's, cliffs and cascade create landscapes of exceptional beauty. |
Serra do Divisor National Park | ![]() |
Acre | 1998 | Natural: (vii)(viii)(ix)(x) | Hilly and mountainous with large alluvial plains and some low tabular plateau's. Separating the two basins of Rio Ucayali (Peru) and Jurua (Brazil), the Park shelters main sources of Jurua 's left margin affluent. It is structured in four main hill massifs (Serras da Jaquirana, do Moa, do Jurua-Mirim & do Rio Branco), separated by flat plains and valleys of the corresponding affluent of the Jurna basin. |
Anavilhanas National Park | ![]() |
Amazonas | 1998 | Natural: (vii)(ix)(x) | The Ecological station is constituted by a 100.000 ha. archipelago, of hundreds of elongated islands and canals within the Rio Negro riverbed, covered by inundated forests. Included to these are 250.000 ha. of not-flooded forests on the riversides. The river is 1 to 3 Km wide and 5 to 35 m deep. Sessonal variation of the water is +/- 10 m. Water pH varies between 3,7 and 5,5. |
Cultural Landscape of Paranapiacaba: Village and railway systems in the Serra do Mar Mountain Range | ![]() |
São Paulo | 2014 | Cultural: (i)(ii)(iv) | The inscription comprehends the cultural heritage of the Railway Village of Paranapiacaba, built by the English company São Paulo Railway Co., the natural heritage of Atlantic Rainforest in the stretch circumscribed by the perimeter of the Nascentes de Paranapiacaba Natural Park, in the Municipality of Santo André, on top of the Serra do Mar Mountain Range, and the technological railroad heritage of the funicular and rack-and-pinion systems at the Mogi River Basin between the municipalities of Santo André and Cubatão, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. |

Its spatial configuration was established and consolidated between the 17th and the first decades of the 20th century. Its origins are attributed to the implementation, in the mid-17th century, of a tax collection station at the mouth of an igarapé where there was a small natural port now corresponding to the docks. |
Itacoatiaras of Ingá River | ![]() |
Paraíba | 2015 | Cultural: (i)(iii) | The term "itacoatiara" originates from the Tupi-Guarani language and means "writing or drawing on stone", having been used in Brazil as a synonym for "rock engraving" expressions.

States of São Paulo, Santa Catarina, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Amapá, Rondônia, and Mato Grosso do Sul | 2015 | Cultural: (ii)(iv) | The set of fortresses installed by Europeans in Brazil originated in a territory occupation process, different to those found in other colonial powers. It was based on a decentralized effort, arising from the actions of inhabitants of the different captaincies that formed Brazil, without further intervention from the mother country. This resulted in the construction of hundreds of fortresses, scattered throughout the country, built to cater more to local interests than the motherland.
