Propuesta para el diseño de una ruta turística dirigida al turismo de naturaleza y observación del cielo nocturno en el Parque Nacional Cajas

Abstract

The purpose of this intervention project is the proposal for the design of a tourist route aimed at nature tourism and observation of the night sky of Cuenca, where various services are combined in order that tourists can enjoy a unique view taking advantage of the little light pollution that Cajas National Park has, an ideal place to witness amazing night shows. For the development of this tourism product, field observations were made, as well as using technological tools that allowed to establish a situation assessment and feasibility analysis in astronomical observation activities of the Cajas National Park, to finally make the proposal of two tourist routes, which are enrolled in a new form of tourism aimed at enjoying a different experience. The present project is composed of a set of activities aimed at satisfying the interests of those passionate about astronomy and citizenship in general. This type of tourism is known as astrotourism, on whose characteristics the project is based.
