Para el desarrollo de este trabajo de titulación se ha considerado como área de estudio Cavernas Jumandy ubicada en la provincia de Napo en el oriente de Ecuador. El principal objetivo es caracterizar los impactos ambientales provocados por actividades turísticas, por medio de la matriz de Leopold y el método CRI, esta metodología dará resultados cualitativos y cuantitativos. Como resultados se obtuvo que las visitas guiadas son la principal actividad que genera impactos ambientales en el interior de la caverna. La fauna y los procesos geológicos son los que en mayor porcentaje se ven afectados, por lo tanto, se plantean estrategias que pueden llegar mitigar y controlar dichos impactos.
