Diseño arquitectónico de un centro turístico en la Parroquia de Mindo

Abstract

Mindo is a small town in the northwest of San Miguel de Los Bancos canton, located in the middle of the cloud forest and the mindo-nambillo eco-logical reserve. It has 19,200 protected hectares surrounding the parish, making it one of the most bio-diverse places on the planet and also a very famous place among bird watchers. One can mention the evolution and development of the parish. According to Father Juan de Velasco, the town is established in the year 973, being initially a way of passage from the coast to the mountains and the entire Andean region. Converting from those dates into the most important tambo for the supply and exchange of merchandise of the chasquis. Years later, thanks to the presidency of Dr. Gabriel García Moreno. Mindo is declared as such on May 20, 1861 by the Convention Nacional, thus ceasing to be part of the Qui-to canton, and passing to San Miguel de los Bancos canton. In the parish we can find different types of activities and types of tourism, the most predominant being adventure tourism, gastronomic tourism , relaxation tourism and especially ecological tourism. Its ecosystem is rich in flora, fauna and botany, these aspects being considered vital for the development of tourism. Here we can find more than 500 varieties of birds, including several species endemic to the area, especially its butterflies. So, its topographic, hydrographic and climatic characteristics allow the user to live one of the best natural experiences. In addition, when conjugate these three mentioned areas, they allow that its temperature and humidity are constant, giving way to the exuberant development of its flora and botany, and allowing a diverse fauna. At the same time we can find that the presence of the human being has altered the circumstances and characteristics of the town, generating a badly planned ecological tourism, increasing the urban spot in a precipitous way and thus altering the hydrography and topography of the place. Finally, we can observe in the same way that the indiscriminate increase in housing and localities has increased the percentage of waste, which are depleted towards nearby or nearby rivers.
