This paper shows the work done by the author in rela_on to the detec_on, approach, survey and analysis of 3 Environmental corridors in NorthwestArgentina: Quebrada de Humahuaca (Jujuy), Valle Tafi (Tucuman) and Route Tinogasta-Fiambalá ( Catamarca), which retain urbanistic, architectural and technological demonstrations on earth (masonry and covered in earth, chapels, houses, historic towns, etc.) that have been revalued and recovered through tourism in order to promote and drive towards development sustainable of these areas. In the cases, the man-earth integration combined its history and tradition, everyday life and ancestral beliefs. On the other hand, the peculiarity of their contexts, natural and cultural, allowed the persistence of these technological, architectural and urban expressions that give identity to the areas where they are located.
