Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley, or Vall del Madriu-Perafita-Claror, is a glacial valley in Andorra. In 2004, it was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the first and only for Andorra - not so much for its natural significance, but rather because it provides a glimpse at how people has made use of the resources of the high Pyrenees range. An ancient communal system has been in place to manage the land for the past 700 years. The Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley covers an area of 4,247 hectares, which is 9% of the total area of Andorra.
