Resumen
This research aims to design interpretative media for the route of Inguisay- El Altar Volcano at Sangay National Park, Chimborazo province, by four stages. The first stage involves determining opportunities of visits to the route; at this point, it was possible to register an overall of nine natural attractions, from which, the most prominent is El Altar volcano, with hierarchy III, also, a rate of tourism potential was determined by a multi-valued –criterion rating developed by a panel of 10 experts. The tourism potential reported a high IPT (Touristic Potential Rate) average, which demonstrates that this route is appropriate for tourism, also, three types of scenarios were identified: rustic natural, primitive, and pristine by applying the ROVAP (Opportunity Rate for Visitors in Protected Areas) method. This process was useful to determine that the route is into an area potentially natural with a relevant level of conservation. The second stage is the identification of the interpretative potential rate of the route based on a multi-criterion assessment carried out in the same way by 10 experts, giving a high IPI (Interpretative Potential Rate) average, providing sufficient resources to be interpreted. The third stage involves the analysis of the audience of the route, which made possible to establish the preferences and needs of both, the national and the foreign audience regarding to interpretative media. Finally, the fourth stage is the design of interpretative media for the route. By analysing the data collected in the previous stages, it was possible to propose the interpretive signage and the interpreter guide as the communicative resources most suitable for the route, since these meet the needs of the audience and they are according to the requirements of the scenarios for which they will be developed.
