The material and immaterial heritage of the Missions, symbolized by the ruins of São Miguel Arcanjo, has received all forms of heritage recognition and appreciation over many decades: listed as a National Historical and Artistic Heritage, named as World Heritage by UNESCO, registered as Cultural Heritage do Brasil, associated with the recognition as a Brazilian Cultural Reference, Cultural Heritage of Mercosur and perhaps, in the future, it may be certified as a cultural landscape. For this, it is necessary to continue the process of knowing non-consecrated heritage, the knowledge of their meanings and values, and the existing dynamic relationships. The relevance of the Jesuit-Guarani experience and its influence on the cultural formation of the state, over time, received new contributions, enriched themselves and diversified. These contributions are coherent with the concept of cultural landscape which, due to its breadth, groups several municipalities around the project to enhance a territory, in addition to presupposing dialogue between different social groups.
