Summary
This study reveals how traditional Andean foods and tourism are reshaping the cultural and economic geography of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Argentina. It highlights the growing consumer interest in geographically and culturally distinct food products, which is driving the valorization of local identities and traditions. By analyzing the interplay between food production, consumption, and tourism, the research demonstrates how these processes transform both the material and symbolic landscapes of the region. The study also identifies the diverse actors involved in these changes, offering insights into broader trends linking culinary heritage with place-making in Andean contexts.
