2025 , Quezada-Sarmiento, Pablo Alejandro , Patricia Marisol Chango-Cañaveral , Mirian Elizabeth Amagua-Simbaña , Guísela Jimenez

Classic pastries in Ecuadorian cuisine are a rich blend of Indigenous, Spanish, and African influences. Among the most beloved desserts are colada morada, a thick, fruit- and purple-corn-based drink, and guaguas de pan, sweet bread rolls shaped like babies and traditionally enjoyed on All Souls’ Day. Other popular treats include empanadas de viento, light, fried pastries filled with cheese or sprinkled with sugar, and tres leches cake, a moist, sponge cake soaked in a blend of three different kinds of milk. Ecuadorian pastries frequently feature panela (unrefined cane sugar) and chocolate as key ingredients. The quality of food perceived by consumers is essential, profoundly influencing satisfaction and the overall culinary experience. This encompasses taste, presentation, freshness, nutritional value, safety, and the broader gastronomic ambiance

Macrophotography of Moths as an Educational Tool to Promote Tourism and Culture in the Parish of Chonta Punta, Napo, Ecuador for Older People

2025 , Quezada-Sarmiento, Pablo Alejandro , Xavier Andres Barnuevo-Solís , Patricia Marisol Chango-Cañaveral , Wilson Teodomiro Salas-Alvarez , Alfonso David Jiménez-Arias

Macrophotography is proving to be an educational tool for capturing details of the objects photographed, particularly to reveal the amazing variety of colors and shapes that characterize moths. In this sense, it is a tool that can well promote entomotourism in the community of Chonta Punta, located in the province of Napo—Ecuador for older people. Moth activity was documented during 17 nightly monitoring sessions at three randomly selected locations in the Yachana Foundation, Agua Santa. 4497 images were taken, and 395 species were identified. The usefulness of macrophotography in revealing useful information about insects was documented and supported by a systematic literature review. The literature review revealed that primary forests harbor moth species absent from eucalyptus plantations. Reporting on these insects demonstrates their potential as attractions within entomotourism, as well as their role as indicators of forest health. The country has untapped potential to turn moth diversity into a tourist attraction. Examples such as the butterfly farms in Mindo, just 2 h from Quito, are clear evidence of the interest butterflies generate among visitors. In addition, experiences such as visiting bioluminescent worms in New Zealand present insects as an attraction. In the context of this research, macrophotography is positioned as an indispensable tool for the identification of insects, allowing a detailed study of their morphology and unique characteristics, as a basis for the development of cultural and tourist proposals around these insects.

The main objective is to assess how tourism can serve as a driver for sustainable infrastructure development, environmental conservation, and inclusive local growth, in alignment with the 2030 Agenda. A qualitative methodology was adopted, involving documentary analysis with exploratory and descriptive scopes. The sources included national development plans, regional policy frameworks, institutional reports, and the relevant academic literature. This study employed territorial indicators related to infrastructure quality, ecosystem protection, and stakeholder participation to evaluate SDG alignment. The results highlight that sustainable tourism practices—particularly those incorporating corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship—can stimulate innovation and enhance resilience in underdeveloped territories. Wetlands and forested areas emerge as key natural assets with strong potential for ecological tourism and sustainable investment. The findings suggest that collaborative actions between the public and private sectors, guided by SDGs 9 and 15, can generate long-term benefits, including biodiversity preservation, improved service infrastructure, and economic inclusion for local communities. Overall, the research underscores the potential of sustainable tourism as a practical mechanism for localizing the SDGs in fragile yet high-value ecological regions.
