Using a participatory methodological approach, it explores how alternative territorialities are constructed in response to the development model promoted in the region. Faced with a process of population displacement, landscape degradation, and the devaluation of traditional ways of life and land use, this study reconstructs the strategies developed by these communities to claim and sustain their right to inhabit. It examines the role of ancestrality in these disputes, not as a direct reference to the past, but as the articulation of memories and relationships with Andean spatiality. The paper shows how, by re-signifying space and meaning, the communities devised a collective strategy in response to processes of deterritorialization and precarization. Este trabajo analiza el impacto de los procesos de patrimonialización y turistificación de la Quebrada de Humahuaca a partir del caso de Purmamarca y el surgimiento de las Comunidades Indígenas Coquena y Chalala. A partir de una estrategia metodológica participativa se observa cómo se construyen territorialidades alternativas al modelo de desarrollo impulsado en la región. Ante un proceso de expulsión de parte de la población, degradación del paisaje y una desvalorización de formas tradicionales de vida y de ocupación del territorio, aquí se reconstruyen las estrategias desarrolladas por estas comunidades para reivindicar y sostener su derecho al hábitat. Se examina el lugar que ocupa la ancestralidad en estas disputas, no como una referencia directa al pasado sino como la articulación de memorias y relaciones con la espacialidad andina. Se muestra cómo las comunidades al resignificar espacios y sentidos elaboraron una estrategia colectiva ante procesos de desterritorialización y precarización.
