715 CL - Rapa Nui National Park (1995)

Brief Description

"Rapa Nui, the indigenous name of Easter Island, bears witness to a unique cultural phenomenon. A society of Polynesian origin that settled there c. A.D. 300 established a powerful, imaginative and original tradition of monumental sculpture and architecture, free from any external influence. From the 10th to the 16th century this society built shrines and erected enormous stone figures known as moai, which created an unrivalled cultural landscape that continues to fascinate people throughout the world."

拉帕努伊国家公园

"拉帕努伊是当地人对复活节岛(Easter Island)的称呼，岛上酝酿了一种独特的文化现象。公元300年时玻利尼西亚人(Polynesian)在没有外界影响下，形成了自己独特的、想象丰 富的、原汁原味的纪念性雕刻和建筑传统。从10世纪到16世纪，玻利尼西亚人陆续建立了许多神殿，竖起了许多称为莫阿伊(moai)的巨大的石像，至今仍 是一道无与伦比的文化风景，吸引全世界各地游人慕名来访。"

959 CL - Historic Quarter of the Seaport City of Valparaíso (2003)

Brief Description

"The colonial city of Valparaíso presents an excellent example of late 19th-century urban and architectural development in Latin America. In its natural amphitheatre-like setting, the city is characterized by a vernacular urban fabric adapted to the hillsides that are dotted with a great variety of church spires. It contrasts with the geometrical layout utilized in the plain. The city has well preserved its interesting early industrial infrastructures, such as the numerous ‘elevators’ on the steep hillsides."

瓦尔帕莱索港口城市历史区

"瓦尔帕莱索殖民城市是19世纪晚期拉丁美洲城市和建筑发展的典范。城市地理位置如同一个圆形露天剧场，布局非常有特色，山 腰上到处可见本国的城市建筑，其中还点缀着星罗棋布的教堂尖塔，在平地部分则采用几何布局。瓦尔帕莱索还完好保存了一些早年有趣的工业基础设施，例如陡峭 山坡上不计其数的“起卸机”。"

971 CL - Churches of Chiloé (2000)

Brief Description

"The Churches of Chiloé represent a unique example in Latin America of an outstanding form of ecclesiastical wooden architecture. They represent a tradition initiated by the Jesuit Peripatetic Mission in the 17th and 18th centuries, continued and enriched by the Franciscans during the 19th century and still prevailing today. These churches embody the intangible richness of the Chiloé Archipelago, and bear witness to a successful fusion of indigenous and European culture, the full integration of its architecture in the landscape and environment, as well as to the spiritual values of the communities."

奇洛埃教堂

"奇洛埃教堂是拉丁美洲特有的基督教木式建筑的杰出代表，所代表的建筑传统始于17和18世纪的耶稣会布道团(Jesuit Peripatetic Mission)，在19世纪得到圣芳济会(Franciscans)的发扬，并流传至今。这些教堂象征了智利群岛文化上的繁荣，也见证了当地文化与欧洲 文化的成功融合，建筑与自然环境，以及当地社会精神价值的有机统一。"

The inscribed site comprises six areas found in the sub-tropical zone of south-west China. They are characterized by spectacular red cliffs and a range of erosional landforms, including dramatic natural pillars, towers, ravines, valleys and waterfalls.
