Summary
A study on the Península Valdés, Patagonia, reveals that the focus on conservation and tourism has led to the marginalization of its cultural heritage, both material and immaterial. The research, based on a 2020 survey of visitors, found that the emphasis on natural conservation and tourism planning has resulted in a distorted perception of the site's past, overshadowing its rich cultural heritage. This imbalance not only invisibilizes the historical significance but also undervalues the cultural content for tourists, providing them with a limited and biased perspective.
