The Colonial Transisthmian Route to aid Panama’s cultural revaluation | Video

Panama City, Mar 20 (EFE) - The anticipated addition of the Colonial Transisthmian Route of Panama to UNESCO's World Heritage list promises to rejuvenate the nation's cultural and historical identity as the "Bridge of the World" and spur comprehensive growth and tourism in the area, according to Panamanian Culture Minister Giselle González Vilarrué.

The Colonial Transisthmian Route of Panama is an engaging journey through time, encompassing the Archaeological Site of Panama Viejo and the Historic District of Panama (World Heritage since 1997), the Caribbean Coast's Fortifications of Panama: Portobelo and San Lorenzo (listed as Heritage in Danger since 2012), and the captivating colonial paths that connect them: the Camino de Cruces and the Camino Real.

Panama's ambitious strategy for UNESCO registration involves a phased nomination process, with the first phase submitted to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in February.
