Abstract

This study examined sustainable eco-ethno-tourism in the Ranchería River Delta Integrated Management District (DMI) as an environmental management tool to conserve and protect environmental and cultural aspects of the protected area. A mixed methodological strategy was implemented, combining documentary and descriptive research. On the other hand, the descriptive research involved unstructured interviews with experts to understand the conceptions and concepts related to the empowerment of eco-ethno-tourism for the sustainability of the Ranchería river delta, La Guajira. Aspects such as the characteristics of the Wayuu people, their social organization, ancestral history, governance, clans, myths, legends, customs, social fabric and fishing were addressed. The results obtained could serve as a tool for the management and planning of eco-etnotourism projects, thus strengthening conservation actions, sustainable use and management of mangroves and the adaptive capacity of coastal communities
