Efrain Suclli Montañez, Luis A. Palomino Rivera, Paulo C. Huaylla Alarcon
The Sondondo Valley represents one of the unique occupation territories in the southern highlands of the country, located in the Ayacucho region, Lucanas province; Given its longevity and the cultural processes linked to traditional agriculture, it would represent a productive space from the Pre-Hispanic era with roots that last to the present day. Given its territorial extension with more than 5 thousand hectares of platform surface in current use (districts of: Aucará, Cabana, Carmen Salcedo and Chipao), a tourism initiative is proposed based on its potential for Agrobiodiversity, understood as the variety and variability of plants, animals and microorganisms of the earth that are important for food, as well as for agriculture and that result from the interaction between the environment, genetic resources and the management of the systems and practices used. The proposed approach is based on a Sustainable Tourism matrix that includes four steps: research on the traveler, exploration of the territory, analysis of competition and co-opetition, finally the conceptualization of the tourist experience.
