For the design of the tourist product was followed the methodology of the Planning Manual of Tourism Products, which consists of the analysis of the destination that found that it has deficiencies such as lack of tourist infrastructure, limited accessibility to certain attractions, lack of transport, and there are no basic services in the attractions. It was determined the profile of the tourist who is mainly foreign and the type of tourism that makes is nature and adventure. With the background presented, 2 routes were designed, with a duration of 2 days – 1 night, and a full day; activities such as hiking, cycling, abseiling and photography are proposed; with an all-inclusive service (transport, food, local guide and accommodation). Finally, a SWOT analysis was carried out, at the external level the need to innovate in tourism products and expand the market to increase the number of tourists is evidenced, because it has a wide range of natural and cultural resources, which can strengthen adventure tourism. As strategies, it is considered to motivate the community through talks to improve the quality of the service, and to use digital and innovative means for the promotion of the attractions and the existing products, including the routes of this project. In conclusion, there is the possibility of developing new tourism products and analyzing the tourism market in depth for this, it is important to focus joint efforts between authorities, residents and other tourism actors, to promote the attractions and activities that are developed in the canton.
