Turismo de aventura, su impacto ambiental y propuesta de mitigación en la quebrada de Quillcayhuanca

Adventure tourism in the Quillcayhuanca Gorge, Huascarán National Park, significantly impacts natural resources, with trekking being the most detrimental activity. Over 1500 tourists annually, mostly foreigners, contribute to soil degradation (61%), water pollution (17.5%), and air quality deterioration (16.9%). Current conservation programs are insufficient, highlighting a critical need for mitigation strategies to protect this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The study employed surveys of local residents, direct observations, and documentary analysis to assess impacts and propose corrective measures.
