    This research aimed to revalorize Andean vernacular constructios in Tisaleo cantón and boost rural tourism through a proposal for interior design tailored for tourist lodging, carefully maintaining the external facade to preserve its heritage value. Additionally, a digital illustrative and informative brochure was developed to document and disseminate the cultural and historical significance of these buildings, fostering awareness, promoting their conservation, and attracting an audience interested in Andean heritage and traditions, thereby contributing to the sustainable socioeconomic development of the community. The study employed a qualitative methodology, drawing upon a comprehensive review of existing literature and theoretical frameworks such as the Ontological Turn and Valene Smithˋs Tourism Typology. Data triangulation, primarily from expert interviews, revealed that while vernacular architecture holds significant potential as a rural tourism attraction due to its unique construction with adobe, rammed earth, and wattle and daub, its precarious state of conservation exacerbated by neglect, climatic factors, and a lack of preservations policies limits its full utilization. A notable loss of ancestral constructions knowledge, crucial for authentic rehabilitation, was also identified. The conclusions underscore the urgent need for integrated strategies that promote both conservation and dissemination. The proposed solution, focusing on adapting interiors for tourist accommodation and creating a digital brochure, offers a practical and symbiotic approach to revalorize this rich heritage and revitalize rural tourism in Tisaleo.
