LOS PAISAJES CULTURALES DEL CARIBE

Authors

Abstract

Los paisajes culturales son grandes
contenedores patrimoniales que muestran la
interacción entre el hombre y la naturaleza. El
Caribe posee innumerables ejemplos entre
aquellos que fueron diseñados, los
orgánicamente evolucionados y los asociativos.
Dos paisajes culturales cubanos se inscriben en
la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial: El Valle de
Viñales y las plantaciones cafetaleras franco
haitianas de la Sierra Maestra. El Valle de los
Ingenios, testimonio de la industria azucarera
decimonónica –inscrito en 1989, junto con el
centro histórico de Trinidad– no aparece
registrado como paisaje cultural. Otros
–algunos de ellos con potencial valor universal
excepcional– se encuentran hoy en peligro.
Palabras clave: Caribe, patrimonio, paisaje.

Cultural landscapes are large heritage
containers which show the interaction between
man and nature. There are numerous
Caribbean examples among the designed,
organically evolved or associative categories.
Two Cuban cultural landscapes have been
inscribed in the World Heritage List: Viñales
Valley and the French Haitian Coffee Plantations
in the Sierra Maestra. The Valley of the Sugar
Mills, a testimony of the 19th century sugar
industry in Cuba _though inscribed together
with Trinidad Historic Centre in 1989_ was not
registered as a cultural landscape. Others
_some of them with a potential outstanding
universal value– are currently threatened.
Key words: Caribbean, heritage, landscape.
