Residential tourism generates fast changes in the local social and economic structure. In rural areas, these changes cause many times the marginalization of traditional primary economic activities such as peasant agriculture. Through the study of the development of residential tourism in two rural communities of the Ecuadorian Andes, Vilcabamba (Loja Province) and Cotacachi (Imbabura), this article examines the mechanisms underlying this process. Specifically, the text shows how the residential tourism threatens the peasant mechanisms reproduction and promotes depeasantization of the territory.
