Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad

Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad, or UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, refers to traditions, practices, expressions, knowledge, and skills that communities, groups, or individuals recognize as part of their cultural identity. These include oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, and traditional craftsmanship. This heritage is intangible because it is not physical objects, but living expressions that are passed down through generations. Recognizing and protecting this heritage helps preserve cultural diversity, sustain community identities, and promote understanding among different cultures worldwide.
