    The general objective of this thesis is to analyze the relationship between the natural landscape and hiking as a sustainable tourism activity in the community of San Francisco de Tangango, aiming at its utilization and conservation. A qualitative approach was employed, using the inductive method. The study design is nonexperimental and cross-sectional, focused on explaining a phenomenon. The instruments used included a MINTUR attraction survey sheet and an interview guide with a total of 20 questions. The results highlighted the characteristics of the existing landscape in the geological formation of El Chivo, including its challenges. Additionally, the interviews identified the main challenges faced by community authorities regarding the implementation of hiking as a mechanism for sustainable development. A significant deficiency in economic and technical support was noted, hindering adherence to sustainable development principles. In conclusion, the surrounding natural landscape is suitable for the implementation of hiking as a sustainable tourism activity in this community. However, there are infrastructure deficiencies caused by a lack of economic support for tourism development in the area. The geological formation "El Chivo," a fault scarp originating in the Quaternary period with unique natural features, holds high potential for ecotourism by offering activities such as hiking, camping, and astronomical observation, provided its structural conditions are improved. Community leaders expressed that the main challenge they face is the lack of knowledge, economic resources, and support from authorities.
