It focuses on the development of ecotourism. It is also framed within the research line on Sustainable Development and Tourism Development of the Universidad National Experimental “Francisco de Miranda” (UNEFM).In this sense, a bibliographic review of the subject was carried out, as well as an analysis of the resources available in this locality, using a descriptive and documentary methodology, given that the reality of the information was collected from existing reality. The data collected were based on the experiences acquired during the field trips. The results indicate that, with adequate investment in infrastructure, transportation, basic services and, of course, constant training for innkeepers, ecotourism could become an engine of economic and social development for the population.
