    The Independence of Ambato is an essential fact in the history of the people of Ambato. However, its narrative has not shown inclusive perspectives. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine memory tourism and historical reinterpretation through a case study on the Independence of Ambato in order to make historically marginalized groups visible. Its importance lies in the fact that history was analyzed from a broader perspective, in which the participation of social groups excluded from traditional narratives was made visible. The research employed a qualitative approach methodology. For the independent variable, interviews were conducted with tourism professionals and historians. For the dependent variable, a bibliographic review was carried out. The results obtained show that memory tourism is an important activity for the transmission of memory, however, it must be properly managed. It also became evident that, generally, traditional narratives omit the voices of minority social groups in terms of gender, ethnicity and class. In other words, the role of upper class historical actors is mainly highlighted, minimizing the contributions of women, indigenous peoples, Afrodescendants and soldiers. It was concluded that memory tourism is an important tool for re-signifying historical events and for a more complex and inclusive historical reinterpretation. Finally, a script was proposed for a dance and narration performance with the purpose of reinterpreting the history of the Independence of Ambato from an inclusive approach that makes visible the diverse social groups that were part of the independence process.
