the value (richness) of our landscape and heritage


Explanation:
I'd choose a different noun than value because it's intended to explain how diverse and contrasted the region is (in this case Navarra)
As a matter of fact, Spain is normally described attending to the high contrast in landscapes, temperatures, customs, accents, food, etc. between different regions or even within the same region in different parts of the the region.

I hope it helps!

agree  Deborah Lockett: I think a straight translation is best, with "value", because the text is not heavily promotional in tone, it's more analytical and appeals to intellect rather than emotions, so I don't think embellishment is justified
5 hrs
  -> Thank you Deborah!
agree  K Donnelly: I agree with Deborah's comments. This fits the tone of the text.
7 hrs
  -> Thank you!
agree  Richard Boulter: Donna's right; this is an analytical text between the travel industry providers. 'The value...', I think. But I like 'scenery' better than 'landscape', because it is more natural in this context and more inclusive of many kinds of things to see.

agree  Kathryn Litherland: agreeing with all of the above, including Richard's preference for scenery

agree  Catherine Gilsenan: But I don't think "value" works. Nothing wrong with "richness"

the desirable appearance of the landscape and the significance/importance of our heritage


Explanation:
Equating the contours of the land with a female body (desirable), (tierra es símbolo de mujer fecunda), and the rest is self-explanatory.

majestic scenery and a rich historical heritage


Explanation:
OR: "breathtaking scenery and....

Obviously, a literal translation won't work here.

"Landscape" will not do as a translation of *el valor paisajístico*. "Value" doesn't belong either.

Suerte.

the significance of our characteristic landscape/scenery and rich historical heritage


Explanation:
I think there's something to say for each of the given answers here, but given the context of this particular example, "highlighting those aspects that are different from other destinations", I would go for a mix of the answers of Femme and Robert but use the word "characteristic ". Knowing Spain there is a lot of breathtaking scenery, so that wouldn't make it different from many other destinations.

Good luck with your choice because it's a though one.
