Abstract

Nature is part of the survival of all living beings and for human beings it has been essential in their evolution. Immersed in the progress of man as a species and in the advance as a society in industrial matters, it has been nature that has provided the resources for constant development until today, even so, the human being distanced himself from his natural being in order to focus on capital creation; However, since the 1970s this has been changing, as the preservation of the environment and the contact of human beings with spaces that allow them to get closer to nature have become more relevant. In Colombia, places such as the Chingaza National Natural Park and Sumapaz Paramo are visited by ecotourists from all over the world with the aim of enjoying this impressive type of ecosystem, therefore, this research insists on the relevance of the ecotourism preservation for ecosystems such as the paramos, of which Colombia has approximately 50% (MADS 2021), and due to the need for ecotourism controlled by government entities exercising care over these fragile ecosystems, since the paramo is closed to this activity (MADS 2017); In order to provide a possible solution to the problem, it was possible to measure a possible entry value to the Sumapaz National Natural Park, through the application of the environmental ecosystem valuation method, travel cost, this being based on responsible ecotourism in the areas analyzed and the need to provide relevant data from the accounting discipline for this purpose.
