The Programa Pueblos Mágicos (Spanish:
[pweβloˈmaxiko]; "Magical Towns Programme") is an initiative led by
Ecuador's Ministry of Tourism (MINTUR). The program seeks to promote tourism in a network of small and mid-sized towns that represent aspects of Ecuador's cultural heritage, and to encourage sustainable economic development in these communities. It is based on the
Mexican government's program of the same name.
[1]
The network was first established in 2019, with an inaugural class of 5 municipalities. [2] As of 16 March 2021, there were 21 designated Pueblos Mágicos, distributed among 14 of Ecuador's 24 provinces. [3]
