The conservation and preservation of sustainable environmental spaces, fosters the integral development of the population, therefore, in this investigation the current situation analysis of Los Yarumos eco-park in Manizales, Colombia, is addressed, taking in account the current challenges, from the interior of the eco-park, aerial tramway, as well as from the territorial accessibility perspective; through the usage of computing tools (ArcMap, Microsoft Excel), facilitating mechanisms for the recovering and repowering of the ecological center.
