| Sumario: | San Carlos de Bariloche city is usually characterized as an eminently tourist destination by much of the academic bibliography and public documents. In them, the figure of Ezequiel Bustillo at the head of the National Parks Directorate is usually highlighted as the main or even the only promoter of this city project. From the perspective of urban cultural history and through the analysis of various documentary sources from 1902 to 1945, period testimonies by A.M. Elflein, E. Morales, A. de Anchorena, FP Moreno and B. Willis, the present work aims to clarify and contextualize some elements that are awarded to the project proposed by E. Bustillo that promoted the town of SC de Bariloche as a eminently tourist and European destination. As a result, we verify the presence of a certain way of characterizing the town since the beginning of the 20th century, which focuses almost exclusively on the similarity of the landscape with the Swiss and delimits local economic development to one linked exclusively to tourism. In this sense, we can conclude that the material practices deployed by E. Bustillo were combined with a long-term historical, cultural and social process and decisively influenced the symbolic construction of the landscape and the city as a tourist destination. |
