The Pindal parish of Canton Pindal has a great variety of natural and cultural tourist attractions as well as a rich gastronomy that attracts the attention of tourists, but there are no formal spaces for the practice and development of physical, recreational, cultural and tourist activities. The lack of a connection between the tourist attractions extends to the implementation of "SENDERIZATION AND SIGNALING OF A TOURIST CYCLONE IN THE PINDAL PARK OF THE CANTÓN PINDAL DE LA PROVINCIA DE LOJA", in order to spread the attractions, improving the offer and the Tourist demand of the parish and turn of the canton. For the development of the research, it was proposed as general objective to elaborate a proposal of senderización and signage of a tourist cycloruta in the Pindal parish of the Pindal canton of the province of Loja, and as specific objectives the following: to elaborate a situational diagnostic of the parish Pindal in order to know the current situation of the area, to propose the design of senderización and signage for the tourist cycle of the parish Pindal and to identify the environmental impacts caused by the senderización and signage of the tourist cycle in the Pindal parish. For the development of the first specific objective: to develop a situational diagnostic diagnosis of the Pindal parish; The analytical method was used, in order to know the current situation of the Pindal parish, and the Carla Ricaurte Matrix was used to carry out the tourist diagnosis in order to gather information necessary for the development of the project.
