Paisaje y patrimonio son dos conceptos que se entrelazan desde diferentes perspectivas, entre ellas, la percepción e interacción que se presenta entre los seres humanos con su entorno; por la importancia de ambos como manifestaciones de la cultura, por su carácter simbólico como reflejo de los valores de un grupo social o porque sirven de base para el desarrollo de la actividad turística. En este trabajo se aborda el análisis de estos elementos desde esta última perspectiva, la de paisaje y patrimonio, como atractivos que adquieren relevancia para la actividad turística, conformando parte de la oferta o resultado impactados por la misma. Se presenta como caso el Pueblo Mágico de Tecate, Baja California, particular por su condición fronteriza y contexto histórico distinto del resto de los pueblos mágicos del país, que en su mayoría son de origen colonial, a diferencia de Tecate, que se consolida como núcleo urbano apenas a mediados del siglo pasado. El énfasis se ha puesto en los elementos que formaron parte del nombramiento otorgado a Tecate, primero para conocer sus características, luego para conocer cómo ambos se complementan en la conformación de una oferta turística y finalmente, establecer cómo esta actividad económica está transformando estos elementos en Tecate.

Landscape and cultural heritage are two concepts which intertwine from different perspectives, among them, the perception and the interaction which occurs between human beings and their surrounding environment, the importance of both of them as manifestations of culture, from the symbolic as a reflection of the values of a social group, or as basic elements for the development of tourism activity. From this last perspective, the analysis of these elements is approached, seen as an asset which acquires relevance with the tourist activity while being impacted by it. Tecate, Baja California is presented as a study case, the small city has a denomination as “Pueblo Mágico” (a mexican federal bureau of tourism program whose name translated to english means “Magical Town”). The city’s condition as a border town and its historical context is different from most of the other magical towns of the country, since they have originated during theSpanish viceroyalty, while Tecate consolidated as an urban core in the middle of the 20th Century.
