- Abstract
In the history, the Andean Mountains have had many meanings for the Andean people, since they were their living and economic space. They also played a religious role, closely intertwined with mountain landscape. Present-day attitudes toward Andean mountains are a mixture of modern worldviews and ancient traditions. Economic use is still to a large extent based on traditional agriculture; simultaneously new economic opportunities are related to new activities, e.g. tourism. On the other hand, mountains preserve important place in culture, while their leisure role is increasing as well as awareness of the importance of preservation of Andean environment.
