Abstract
The objective of this review was to analyze the role of ecotourism in Peru, emphasizing the benefits it brings to the ecological and cultural diversity of the villages in which it is developed, its current situation after the COVID-19 pandemic, and its prospects. Therefore, a bibliometric search was carried out in the Scopus and Scielo databases, which allowed the selection of articles that were analyzed in detail. The corresponding analysis determined that ecotourism has brought social and economic benefits to Peru and encourages environmental care and conservation of species and human cultures. Likewise, after the COVID-19 pandemic, ecotourism has gained the interest of tourists, so its recovery is favorable; however, the challenges caused by the presence of human beings, such as environmental pollution and its impact on animal species, must be overcome.
