Abstract
La ciudad de San Gabriel, reconocida como pueblo mágico en 2019, cuenta con numerosos atractivos turísticos como la cascada de Paluz, el milenario bosque de los arrayanes y la laguna del Salado. Además, posee una rica gastronomía tradicional, a menudo desconocida. El objetivo de esta investigación es desarrollar una propuesta integral para la implementación de un museo gastronómico en San Gabriel, provincia del Carchi, que promueva la preservación, difusión y valoración de la cultura culinaria local. La metodología se basa en técnicas documentales, encuestas, entrevistas y observación. Se recibieron 204 respuestas a las encuestas, aunque la muestra determinada fue de 167. Se realizaron cuatro entrevistas a funcionarios municipales, administradores de museos y un docente universitario. Los resultados más representativos incluyen un perfil del cliente potencial del museo, un inventario de 34 platos tradicionales que representan el acervo cultural gastronómico de San Gabriel, la permanencia de 10 técnicas tradicionales de cocción y el uso de varios utensilios prehispánicos y de la época colonial. Se concluye que un museo gastronómico es esencial para conservar y divulgar el patrimonio culinario de la región. Al celebrar la historia, las tradiciones y las técnicas locales, estos museos educan al público y fomentan la apreciación de la cultura alimentaria y su conexión con la historia, la sociedad y el medio ambiente.
