The study area has great potential for tourism and ecotourism to become a promising site for tourist activities like camping, hiking,climb,picnic, flora and fauna, among others, for this reason we raised this research work , where you have to know the basic guidelines for the adequacy of signage and definition of the path, with the sole aim of encouraging visitors to tourist activities . This research project revolves around the theme , "Proposed signage and trails to promote tourism of the Canton Bald Hill Ahuaca Loja Province " whose aim is the implementation of a trail and signage, currently subject should be handled in all natural areas such as national parks, forests, hills and protected areas where tourist activities intended to benefit from it. The overall objective of this study is to contribute to a proposal Signaling and Signs for the Promotion of Tourism Ecological Reserve Area Canton Calvas Ahuaca Loja Province , for the development of this target was raised three specific objectives as: Characterize sites canton Ahuaca natural Bald Hill for information of the study area . Analyze the information gathered using the technique of SWOT and Defining an ecological path and signage for Ahuaca hill , which to guide , inform and convey a valuable image of order and quality. Importantly, the methodology used for the development of this study was performed according to the specific objectives presented above , requiring the use of analytic and synthetic methods allowed us to analyze and synthesize a more objective and fast information also obtained and applied inductive and deductive methods important methods which reduce and chose only the information required for representation on a personal level and general historical method that finally helped us gathering all the information of the study area . 7 To characterize the sites under study and assign a hierarchy to the methodology applied by the Ministry of Tourism of Ecuador, which summarized the information in chips, was the description of the attractions, and then proceeded to the hierarchy consisting of individual analysis of each site.

To define the path and signage in place , we used the methodology of Miguel Cifuentes , in order to define what kind of path is required for lifting the route GPS was used to determine the tourism carrying capacity was used Cifuentes methodology was applied to calculate formulas in terms Ahuaca Cerro is physical load capacity , the actual charge capacity , the capacity of handling and effective load so as to possible impacts , resorted to the Leopold matrix cause and effect, the signage is proposed based on study of MINTUR signage Manual , where tones detailed dimensions and materials used. As the results are nested in study sites , reaching Cerro Ahuaca in a hierarchy II , while climbing in the same hierarchy obtained Ahuaca II , we determined the load capacity is 28.62 tourist visits day with regard to the construction of the path it was determined that in certain sectors is indispensable escalerines implementation of wood or stone , as to signage detailed the materials that do not cause environmental impacts .
