Background and aims: The valuation, use and management practices of natural resources of small producers, in general rely on local ecological knowledge (LEK). In order to compare the communities of two physiographic units: Salinas Grandes and Serrano System, the study of LEK on cacti was discussed. M&M: We performed 21 interviews with key informants about diversity, uses and valuation. Results: On the one hand, in Salinas Grandes one use and management practice associated with traditions for each taxon were mentioned at least; on the other hand, less types of uses were mentioned by Serrano System’s informants. Conclusions: In this place, uses related to tourism and commercialization highlight. Residents of Salinas Grandes, who live in extreme aridity conditions and have scarce herbaceous resources available, conserve knowledge linked to traditions which is necessary to ensure their social reproduction, and the Cactaceae appear as key resources for their subsistence. Those of the Serrano System, which have a greater diversity of forage resources, can offer other services and reorient their knowledge towards new activities. This suggest the flexibility of this knowledge (LEK), which allows adjustments to deal with contextual change situations. Introducción y objetivos: La valoración, uso y manejo de los recursos naturales por parte de pequeños productores se sustenta en el conocimiento ecológico local (CEL). Con el objeto de comparar entre sí las comunidades de dos unidades fisiográficas: Salinas Grandes y Sistema Serrano, abordamos el estudio del CEL sobre las cactáceas. M&M: Realizamos 21 entrevistas a informantes claves sobre diversidad, usos y valoración. Resultados: En Salinas Grandes nos mencionaron por lo menos un uso para cada taxón y formas de manejo asociadas a tradiciones; en cambio, los informantes del Sistema Serrano mencionaron menos tipos de usos y cobraron relevancia otros tipos relacionados al turismo y la comercialización. Conclusiones: Por un lado, los pobladores de Salinas Grandes, que viven en condiciones de aridez extrema y con escasos recursos herbáceos, conservan conocimientos ligados a tradiciones que son necesarios para asegurar su reproducción social, donde las Cactáceas aparecen como recursos claves para su subsistencia. Por otra parte, los del Sistema Serrano, que cuentan con mayor diversidad de recursos forrajeros, pueden ofrecer otros servicios y reorientan sus conocimientos hacia nuevas actividades, donde se evidencia la flexibilidad de estos saberes (dentro del CEL) que permite ajustes a las situaciones de cambio contextual.
