The research entitled "Carbon footprint of tourist activities in the Paccha Waterfalls, Jepelacio district, province of Moyobamba", had the following question: What is the carbon footprint of tourist activities in the Paccha Waterfalls in the Jepelacio district, province of Moyobamba? The main objective was "To estimate the carbon footprint of tourism activities in the Paccha Waterfalls in the district of Jepelacio, province of Moyobamba", for which it was necessary to identify the tourism activities and the equivalent carbon emitting sources. The survey was used to interview tourists, transporters and restaurant staff, and the guidelines established by the greenhouse gas protocol were used as a reference, as well as emission factors, which were multiplied by the activity data to estimate the total emissions and then divided by the number of tourists that carry out each activity. This made possible the generation of the total carbon footprint per tourist. The results show that the total carbon footprint generated at Paccha Falls is equivalent to 16570,469 kgCO2eq, being scope 3 where the emission sources of the transport and food sectors are located the ones that generate the highest amounts of CO2eq, with 950,210 kgCO2eq and 14900,088 kgCO2eq, which represent 5.73% and 89.92% of emission sources, respectively. In addition, the total carbon footprint generated per tourist at Paccha Waterfalls was determined to be 115,469 kgCO2 eq/tourist, of which the sector that emits the greatest amount of carbon equivalent per tourist is the food sector with 78.55% (90,696 kgCO2 eq/tourist) and the transportation sector with an amount of 21,858 kgCO2 eq/tourist (18.93% of the total).
