The assessment of ecosystem services (ES) can improve decision-making and policy development on the environment and land use in particular. ES mapping has gained increasing attention in research and has been used to identify priority areas for the use and potential of ES provision as well as the most pressing threats for ES. Among cultural ES (e.g., scenic beauty, recreation, spiritual, heritage, etc.), the ES related to recreation are the most frequently mapped because they are relatively simple to quantify compared to other cultural services, the assessment of which requires understanding personal preferences, beliefs or spiritual values (e.g., aesthetics or sense of place). We assessed several cultural ES related to ecotourism in the Mariño river basin (Apurímac region in Peru) using several methods to map their use and identify their potential. Utilizing the Panoramio database, we explored the level of ES use both physically and visually. Participatory mapping methods during workshops and stakeholders interviews allowed the understanding of spatial distribution of ES provision and use. Surveys among tourist, and urban and rural communities shed light on the perceptions related to ES values among different types of users. Our results focused on the mapping of Cultural ES use as well as the complementarity of different methods to analyzed ES related to ecotourism.
