ACEVEDO TARAZONA, Álvaro  and  MORENO GONZALEZ, María Consuelo. Tourism as a patrimonial proposal: from the archaeological museums to the new ludic alternatives in the current province of Guanentá (Santander, Colombia). memorias [online]. 2020, n.40, pp.63-83.  Epub May 01, 2021.

Based on concepts such as heritage, tourism and santandereanidad, this article proposes a trip to the past of the current province of Guanentá in Santander (Colombia), to understand the cultural characteristics of the people of the province of Guane of the Nuevo Reino de Granada, conquered by Martin Galeano in 1540. The archaeological finds now preserved in museums have allowed this region to link to a new tourist proposal that recognizes the importance of the Guane heritage that must be maintained through a playful alternative such as the "memory parks". The chronicles of the time, the analysis of archaeological finds and other cultural legacies have strengthened the identity of today's Santandereano, which in turn, values even more the existing heritage assets in funerary sites, especially observable in the area of the Mesa de los Santos.

Keywords : History; Museums; New Kingdom of Granada; Heritage.
