Mexican UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Mexico accepted the UNESCO convention on 2/23/1984, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list. Mexico has 36 sites on the list (the highest number of sites per country in the Americas) and a further 23 tentative sites. Mexico's first six sites were inscribed on the list at the 11th Session of the World Heritage Committee, held at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France in 1987. The most recent inscription was the Wixárika Route through Sacred Sites to Wirikuta, listed in 2025. There are 28 cultural, six natural, and two sites listed both for their cultural and natural significance. The Islands and Protected Areas of the Gulf of California site has been listed as endangered because of the imminent extinction of the vaquita, an endemic porpoise in the gulf.
