Hispanic Traditions on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List
UNESCO recognizes several uniquely Hispanic traditions as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. These traditions illustrate the creativity, resilience, and community spirit characteristic of Latin American countries. Notable examples include Mexico’s Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos), a vibrant celebration honoring deceased loved ones with altars and decorations; Colombia’s Carnival of Barranquilla, a lively festival with music, dance, and costumes; Peru’s Scissors Dance (Danza de las Tijeras), featuring acrobatic performances; and the Tango, a passionate dance originating from Buenos Aires and Montevideo’s working-class slums. These traditions reflect the rich cultural diversity and historical values of the region.
