Patrimonio cultural de Aldea San Antonio. Aportes al desarrollo territorial a través del turismo (Entre Ríos, Argentina)

Universidad del Salvador, through its Faculty of History, Geography and Tourism, has been carrying out for several years research work where environment, natural and cultural resources, sustainable development and tourism have been analysed. Several of these works reflected the joint work with some villages in Entre Rios province, Argentina. Particularly, studies in Aldea San Antonio were carried out. It was possible to see the potential of this town from a heritage, cultural and tourist perspective. In this context, the objective of the research was to register and to classify tangible and intangible heritage. And specifically, to develop a cultural tourism circuit based on the opinion of the local community. The project had four phases. The first two were oriented to the survey of secondary sources, the elaboration of research instruments and relevant actors' interviews. The last phases involved the processing of the information collected and the preliminary design of a cultural touristic circuit.
