SALAS MEDINA, Paulina Elizabeth. The university in the analysis of tourist facilities in the Kuri Pishku trail, in the Mundug waterfall section, Patate. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.1, pp. 26-34.  Epub Feb 02, 2021. ISSN 2218-3620.

The participation of universities in identifying and offering solutions to different problems has led to the conclusion that the study of natural trails can be a source of insight in developing tourist activities, especially nature tourism; it brings about economic and social dynamism in the regions where it is practiced. The analysis of trails implies the knowledge of the type of tourist facilities required for the satisfaction of visitors. In this paper, the Kuri Pishku trail, specifically the section of the Mundug waterfall in the Patate region was analyzed. The current environmental conditions of the area were identified and evaluated to set forth a system of actions that contribute to increase the number of visitors. Another purpose was to recover and encourage the conservation of the trail. As part of the research, different techniques were used to collect information about the actuators involved. From the information collected, the analysis and interpretation of the results led to the conclusion that it is necessary to propose strategies focusing on the areas that need to be acclimatized for tourism in this site. To conclude, this project promotes the practice of trekking to the Mundug waterfall as a tourist attraction that should be promoted.
