Abstract

To reflect on the potential of the Cultural Route heritage category as an instrument for cultural revitalization and community strengthening in highland regions, we analyze an interaction of actors involved in the co-construction of a hiking circuit in northern Chile that succeeded in its heritage-based design but not in its touristic implementation. Based on an in-depth analysis of the socioterritorial context and on participatory action research carried out to design the circuit, we discuss the reasons for the project's failure during the phase of community-based tourism model definition. This leads to broader conclusions on the intersections of current policies on heritage, multiculturalism, and environment, relating to the 2014 inscription of the Qhapaq ñan Andean road system on the World Heritage List. Finally, we highlight 3 lessons: (1) the need to clarify the risk of confusion between cultural revitalization and cultural tourism; (2) the Cultural Route category as a complex and heterogeneous heritage construct that is difficult to apply from global to local scales, and (3) the need to further develop Latin American regulations on heritage.

TL;DR

This paper analyzes a participatory heritage-based hiking circuit in the Arica highlands of northern Chile that succeeded in its heritage design but failed in its touristic implementation. It draws lessons about cultural revitalization versus cultural tourism, the Cultural Route category, and Latin American heritage regulation.

Key findings

  • The project produced a technically and socially validated heritage-based hiking circuit but could not agree on a community-based tourism business model, causing social organizations to lose interest and isolating the tourism engineer and microentrepreneurs.
  • The authors highlight 3 lessons: (1) clarify the risk of confusion between cultural revitalization and cultural tourism; (2) the Cultural Route category is a complex, heterogeneous heritage construct difficult to apply from global to local scales; and (3) Latin American regulations on heritage need further development.
  • The socioterritorial context includes stark demographic concentration: 98% of the population (approximately 220,000 inhabitants) lives in coastal Arica, while highland areas have experienced massive rural exodus over the last 3 generations.
  • In Arica and Parinacota, 36% of the regional population self-declares as indigenous versus 9% nationally; in highland territories, the self-declared indigenous population reaches 60%. Among stated identities, Aymara is 75%, Mapuche 10%, and Quechua 3%.
  • The designed circuit was a figure-eight-shaped route connecting 3 villages, selected through 7 collectively identified variables and GIS-based multivariate modeling; it was associated with 6 distinct cultural landscapes.

Methods

  • Case study and participatory action research (PAR) for codesigning a heritage-based hiking circuit in the Altos de Arica, northern Chile, involving an indigenous association (CWIYPM) and research centers.
  • Socioterritorial and historical diagnosis, plus 2 participatory mapping workshops with representatives of 5 villages and CWIYPM members, to identify pathways and heritage meanings.
  • Path selection used multivariate modeling with 7 variables translated into geospatial characteristics and assessed via geographic information system analysis; the proposed circuit was socially validated in a workshop with representatives of 3 villages and then surveyed by archaeologists and ecologists for impact assessment.

Limitations

  • The paper states the project failed at the stage of tourism implementation and that no appropriate community-based tourism business model could be agreed upon; it also states the analysis is undertaken from an actor-researcher point of view.
  • The paper identifies causes including funding from a multinational mining group, ideological incompatibility between indigenism and extractivism, weak village sociopolitical institutions, territoriality concepts based on exclusive sovereignty and linear delimitation, misunderstandings about heritage ownership, and the absence of a hiking/recreational landscape culture in northern Chile.
  • Evident from the text: this is a single-case qualitative PAR study with no implemented tourism outcome to evaluate, and the authors do not provide a dedicated limitations section or systematic comparison with other cultural route projects.

      Section 4, “Las lógicas de la participación y sus polaridades” (page unavailable), describes heritage processes driven by citizen movements, supporting the role of social agency. But it also describes a prevalent expert-led, nonparticipatory model. The paper therefore does not support the unqualified claim that heritage processes are always driven by social agency if that means community or citizen agency. (LLM, conf=0.85)

      The section on the extent and distribution of the prehispanic territory describes substantial late-prehispanic settlement, agricultural development and pastoral activity in the upper Azapa precordillera (page unavailable). The section on chronological assignment suggests that prehispanic villages were rapidly abandoned during the prehispanic-to-colonial transition; it does not establish that the precordillera is largely abandoned today. The cited passages also do not establish extensive irrigated agriculture and cattle raising during the colonial period. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
