The present critique review explores the limitations of Troncoso´s view respecting to the real estate effects in Humahuaca, Argentina. Some spaces are commoditized others are undermined. She argues convincingly that tourism growth, since the XXth century, has been on the agenda of the Argentine government simply because it represents a fertile ground for fresh incomes.

The gap generated by the lack of information was fulfilled by personal interviews to key person
