Source text - Portuguese Onde mora a perfeição?
Só no Brasil são 17 endereços, reconhecidos como Patrimônios
da Humanidade pela Unesco. Lar de espécies animais e
vegetais das mais diversas, lar de traçados urbanísticos
singulares, de exemplos arquitetônicos e artísticos de valor
inestimável, essas áreas são um retrato vivo da riqueza
natural, histórica e cultural deste país-continente.
A cidade histórica de Ouro Preto, em Minas Gerais, foi o
primeiro sítio nacional a ser tombado, em 1980; e o Complexo
de Conservação da Amazônia Central, o mais recente, em
2003. Em comum com os demais 754 Patrimônios da
Humanidade espalhados por toda a Terra, as áreas brasileiras
têm a excepcional beleza, a importância que ultrapassa
fronteiras e que é causa comum de todos os povos,
e o permanente risco de desaparecer.
Essa riqueza inestimável depende da constância de um olhar
vigilante para sua manutenção. Mas só se busca preservar o
que se ama. E só se ama o que se conhece.
Bem-vindos todos, então, ao país das maravilhas: este território
de florestas e quedas d’água, ilhas atlânticas e cerrados,
cidades coloniais e capitais contemporâneas. Um roteiro que
cobre o Brasil de Norte a Sul. Uma celebração do que de mais
belo a natureza e o homem são capazes de criar.
A perfeição mora aqui.
Translation - English Where does perfection lie?
In Brazil alone there are 17 different natural and cultural sites officially designated by UNESCO as World Heritage sites. Home to a wide range of animal and vegetal species, and to unique urban configurations of priceless architectural and artistic value, these areas are a living portrait of the natural, historical and cultural wealth of this country called Brazil. The historical town of Ouro Preto, in Minas Gerais State, was the first site listed by UNESCO in 1980, while the Central Amazon Conservation Complex (2003) was the latest. These Brazilian sites share in common with the other 754 World Heritage sites scattered around the globe their exceptional beauty, their importance that goes beyond borderlines and has become a common cause for all peoples of the Earth, and the permanent threat of extinction.
Such invaluable wealth depends on constant watchful care. We can only seek to preserve what we love, and we can only love what we know.
Welcome to Brazil, the wonder country of forests and waterfalls, Atlantic islands and grasslands, colonial towns and modern state capitals. We will take you on a tour north and south of this gigantic country in a true celebration of the breathless beauty created by nature and men alike.
