- Develop the conservation management plans in the entire
maritime port area of Valparaíso;
- Clarify with more precision the norms and guidelines in
areas that are adjacent to the protected zones, eg Plaza de
Intendencia, Cementario, Pantheon, Plaza de San
Francisco.
Furthermore, ICOMOS recommends to the State Party to
consider the possibility of changing the name so as to
better reflect the outstanding universal value of Valparaíso
as a major merchant port on a world trade route.
Recommendation with respect to inscription
Taking into account the above, ICOMOS recommends that
the nominated be inscribed on the World Heritage List on
the basis of criterion iii:
Criterion iii: Valparaíso is an exceptional testimony to the
early phase of globalisation in the late 19 th century, when it
became the leading merchant port on the sea routes of the
Pacific coast of South America.
