Resumen
El Bajo de Véliz es un paraje rural cercano a Santa Rosa del Conlara (provincia de San Luis) que presenta características naturales muy particulares, así como un proceso socioterritorial reciente de gran riqueza para el análisis de la práctica turística. En el año 2002 el gobierno provincial decide asfaltar la ruta hasta el paraje, y convertirlo en un área natural protegida, lo cual implicaba la expropiación de las tierras en detrimento de la población local, familias campesinas que resistieron la expropiación organizándose y reconvirtiéndose parcialmente al turismo. El objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar el proceso de conversión del Bajo de Véliz en un atractivo turístico a partir del accionar del Estado provincial, de los empresarios turísticos y de la población local, desde un punto de vista territorial, planteando que se trata de un “laboratorio” de la territorialidad del turismo, y un caso llamativo para el debate sobre el turismo rural. Se recurrió al análisis de fuentes periodísticas y oficiales, así como a la realización de un trabajo de campo que incluyó la observación directa en el terreno, el registro fotográfico y entrevistas a diferentes actores.
Bajo de Véliz is a rural area near Santa Rosa del Conlara (province of San Luis) that has very particular natural characteristics, and has recently gone through a socio-territorial process of great richness for the analysis of tourism. In 2002, the provincial government decided to pave the route to the area, and turn it into a protected natural area. is decision had a detrimental effect on the local population since it involved expropriation of lands. As a consequence, peasant families against these measures formed organizations that favored tourism. e aim of this work is to analyze the process undergone by the Bajo de Véliz to become a tourist attraction based on the joint action of the provincial government, tourist entrepreneurs, and the local population. Likewise, from a territorial point of view, this process is considered to be a “laboratory” of the territoriality of tourism, i.e. a striking case for the debate on rural tourism. Different press and official sources were analyzed, and field work was carried out including direct observation, photographic records and interviews to different actors.
