At present, the village of Caney Alto presents environmental conflicts associated with the intervention of its natural vegetation, affecting the ecosystem's integrality, unsustainable uses of the soil, and, in some cases, the overuse of these. The area also has environmental effects due to the mismanagement of the water resource because this path is a local and regional tourist attraction, which has generated a significant increase in demand and excessive pressures on water quality. This article presents the environmental guidelines to contribute to the sustainable development of the municipality of Restrepo, especially the Caney Alto, through the proposal of participatory strategies and control that involve social and institutional actors in the conservation and proper management of water sources in the microregion of the path.
