Uribe - Meta: Rutas de Paz. Rutas de ecoturismo: diseño paisajístico y resignificación, Uribe, Meta

Abstract

The Administrative Region of Territorial Planning: Central Region is an entity with several development plans and projects for each department that is composed by: Meta, Huila, Boyacá, Tolima, Cundinamarca and Bogotá, looking for alliance and cooperation among them; The entity's plans include the implementation of projects related to tourism, however, the RAPE does not have an optimal effectiveness in the plans, either by the interests of each department or by the poor administrative execution of the entity, which causes that for the department of Meta, being a large territory and an important agricultural producer for the country and the RAPE itself, there is a lack of use in the territory for the implementation of ecotourism initiatives, considering that natural tourism should not be invasive to the territory and is based on the contemplation and care of ecosystems. It should also be noted that the history of the department over time has witnessed the armed conflict and cocaine production in municipalities such as Lejanias, Mesetas and Uribe, which caused a rupture and disarticulation between them, causing supply networks to be affected and the interests of each one to be independent without cooperation between municipalities. Nevertheless, it is important to highlight that the signing of the Peace Agreement was one of the causes for these territories to come to light together with their landscapes, natural, cultural and productive wealth. The purpose of this research is to study the potential of the department to carry out ecotourism and make it an alternative to the department's economy; through two proposals of ecological landscape routes, which suggests the improvement of roads and the creation of trails in the municipality of La Uribe in order to demonstrate the areas of opportunity and highlight the physical, environmental, cultural and economic elements, along with a program that promotes the same local activity (agriculture and stockbreeding) and generate municipal cooperation as well as identity and resignification
