To reflect on the potential of the Cultural Route heritage category as an instrument for cultural revitalization and community strengthening in highland regions, we analyze an interaction of actors involved in the co-construction of a hiking circuit in northern Chile that succeeded in its heritage-based design but not in its touristic implementation. Based on an in-depth analysis of the socioterritorial context and on participatory action research carried out to design the circuit, we discuss the reasons for the project's failure during the phase of community-based tourism model definition. This leads to broader conclusions on the intersections of current policies on heritage, multiculturalism, and environment, relating to the 2014 inscription of the Qhapaq ñan Andean road system on the World Heritage List. Finally, we highlight 3 lessons: (1) the need to clarify the risk of confusion between cultural revitalization and cultural tourism; (2) the Cultural Route category as a complex and heterogeneous heritage construct that is difficult to apply from global to local scales, and (3) the need to further develop Latin American regulations on heritage.

在阿里卡高地乡村发展的遗产创造道路上行走和跌跌撞撞

为了反映文化路线遗产类别作为高原地区文化振兴和社区加强工具的潜力，我们分析了参与共同建设智利北部徒步线路的参与者之间的互动，该线路在其遗产基础上取得了成功。设计，但不是在其旅游实施。基于对社会地域背景的深入分析和为设计回路而进行的参与式行动研究，我们讨论了在基于社区的旅游模型定义阶段项目失败的原因。这导致对当前遗产、多元文化和环境政策的交叉点得出更广泛的结论，这些政策与 2014 年将 Qhapaq ñan 安第斯公路系统列入世界遗产名录有关。最后，我们强调 3 个教训：（一）需要明确文化振兴与文化旅游混淆的风险；(2) 文化路线类别是一种复杂且异质的遗产结构，难以从全球范围应用于地方尺度，以及 (3) 需要进一步制定拉丁美洲的遗产法规。
