Abstract: | The present work seeks to strengthen and revitalize these practices, such as the “Wayusa Upina”, with the objective of defending and building the culture of the ancestors, through the revitalization of spaces for dialogue, integration processes with tourists, and the strengthening of community organizations and associations.The Wayusa Upina is an ancestral ceremony that has been performed since ancient times in the Kichwa culture of the Ecuadorian Amazon, before starting their daily activities in agriculture, fishing or hunting.
