THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK The regional government of Lambayeque (2010) Said that in Lambayeque region is promoted the conservation, protection and preservation of animals and forests to predation risk and danger from surrounding populations is promoted. For which, propel and promote public and private investment to beautify our tourism to take to transform into an attractive tourist destination, where you can collect and provide the best quality services to visitors.

They added that the region has an ecotourism very attractive and some little known destinations; such as Chaparri Ecological Reserve, Wildlife Refuge Laquipampa, Udima Forest, Forest Historical Sanctuary and Reservoir P贸mac Tinajones Chongoyape. In which, an adventurous ecotourism is developed, which generates income and stability to the surrounding villages.

They also stated that there are some proposals for private investment in the tourism sector, here specifically for the development of ecotourism in Walls; an investment of $ 80,000.00, designed and promoted the construction of accommodations and overnight in the district of Chongoyape and improving existing in Walls, which is looking into a hosting type "lodge" for the nature that surrounds ecotourism and its use.

The regional government of Lambayeque (2004) Expressed that in the Private Conservation Area ChaparrĂ­, aims to develop ecotourism in a responsible, committed people Chongoyape and other surrounding towns this CAP. The use of green areas, just dry forests and thickets dense groves to look real and suitable habitat for animal life is one of the activities taking place in post for sustainable development; here are many wild animals in protection because their race are endangered.

Furthermore, here mentions that in this conservation area maintain communities that primarily engaged in the breeding of sheep and goats on a small scale. With the work of this national body, it aims to promote and develop a rational exploitation of ecotourism as a new source of income and benefits for the population. Currently, -add- the Pampa area ChaparrĂ­ was negatively impacted by grazing and logging, which has been completely extinguished to make way for reforestation (especially carob). To counteract these impacts such as soil degradation and pollution arise in this CAP take actions such as zoning of areas within the CAP, identifying sensitive areas and strong areas, so as to regulate the number of daily and weekly visits. Besides establishing zones for intensive ecotourism, setting up camps for overnight stay.

Also expressed in a clearly and directly way that this is a proposed ecotourism development for Forest Historical Sanctuary of Pomac to guide the protection and conservation of natural resources and sustainable development of populations adjacent to the Sanctuary. They claim that ecotourism is an appropriate alternative to boost economies of poor locals who are forced to actions against the environment, such as logging and charring trees. The involvement of this type of tourism with various activities could encourage timely to improving life for residents manner.

ANDINA (Chiclayo, febrero. 23 - 2013) They reported that the manager of the ECO center; that ensures the proper development of ecotourism and rural tourism, for preserving ecosystems Lambayeque region; Mr. Dante Diaz expressed that there are good prospects for growth of ecotourism in Lambayeque with the arrival of a large number of visitors interested in nature tourism, who come to birding, dry forest to explore and learn more about the Lambayeque culture and traditions.

Consecutively he express that internal communities Forest Historical Sanctuary Pomac made entrepreneurs tourist service jobs, which means a socio-culturaleconomic progress for its commitment to sustainable development of ecotourism and its influence on other activities.

MINCETUR (2014) published this year in July, statistics of visitors, local and foreigners who have arrived to the Forest Historical Sanctuary Pomac with this data, we can infer that the visits are relevant in increase and therefore, must be rationed or limited daily or weekly visits, so as not to degrade the roads huacas, prevent pollution and overpopulation visits.

The regional government of Lambayeque (2013) outlined the areas that have been zoned and categorized as Major Ecological and Economic Zones. Where the places, which are currently in the process of conservation and protection, and where improvements can be made for both the development of tourism, including ecotourism and other types in addition to the productive activities in the region such as agriculture are exposed . This publication is intended to put in the eye of local and national investors and therefore the state to bring development and progress to the region as a former private lines with public and / or explained. Then acre zoning and shows.

Arriola, M. (October, 12, 2012) said that the Eco Centre, proposed a project to promote ecotourism in the region, developed in the SHBP exactly where it also seeks to protect and preserve the environment; progress of communities, both social - cultural and economic development activities that involve and commit to working for local OK. Furthermore, it was stated that the main goal with all this is that tourists can enjoy their visit and live surrounded by nature customs.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance (February 15, 2007), said that in the new phase, the National Public Investment System decentralized is focused on developing a system closer to the needs and demands of the people, ensuring

SCIENTIFIC THEORETICAL BASES.

Maneiro (28 noviembre 2012) “If you look at the map of Peru, you may notice that many of the protected areas that the country is in border areas. It's smart politics of Sernanp, the body responsible for the declaration and management of these areas: caring nature preserve borders. When you cross the border with Ecuador, Peru's northern border, finds that the dry forest occupies large swaths of territory, while in Ecuador is much more involved and concerned” Duana, Rodríguez y Motta (2011) “We can say that ecotourism is an approach to tourism activities emphasizing priority issues such as sustainability, preservation and appreciation of the natural environment as well as cultural field presented to tourists.” Ángel (2011) “We understand local economic development, as the resulting set of manifesting in improving the level and quality of life of the inhabitants of a locality as a result of generating sustainable growth at various levels, to engage, involve and complement each other strategically able to generate local synergies improvement, involving the change of systematic and structural conditions of the locality, deepening the long term as it forms and strengthens the basic endogenous core. Local development is grounded in social participation, which is able to build the social and symbolic capital, territorial identity, citizenship and the strengthening of local institutions.¨ Múgica, M. et al. (2011) ” Is the main instrument for environmental conservation of European nature. This network is collected and recorded conservation areas containing habitats and species need to be protected from exposure to the dangers of extinction.¨

Magio, K.; Velarde, M.; SantillĂĄn, M. & RĂ­os, C., (2013), It was found that ecotourism has not achieved the objective of integrating conservation of biodiversity and the socioeconomic development of adjacent communities; one reason for the existing implementation problems has been the concept itself and how it has been operationalized. Furthermore, ecotourism in the developing countries has been plagued with issues related to non-realization of promised benefits, none or weak development structures and absence of efficient governance and management. The study recommends greater coordination between the stakeholders involved in ecotourism and of key interest, the participation of the government and the local community.

Oliveira W., Florio A., Castro C., (2009) Describes the ecotourism as one of the propellers of tourism, based on the definition given by the Institute of Ecotourism in Brazil that says it's "recreational practice, sports or educational tourism using, sustainable, natural and cultural assets form, promote conservation the promotion of environmental awareness and ensure the welfare of the people involved. " Guerrero, R. (2010) Analyzes the birth and evolution of ecotourism, which is proposing an alternative to mass tourism, as well as being a greater concern for the environment and the pursuit of economic development. It also explains that the realities in the different areas where this activity is fostered show that this does not necessarily fully compliant.

Daltabuit, M.; HernĂĄndez, A.; Barbosa, S. & Valdez, A. (2009) Make an overview of the status of ecotourism in Yucatan, bounded by the politics and guidelines provided by the state, in addition to describing the impacts of ecotourism in economic and social terms, analyzing the development.
