| Sumario: | In the riverine South America, lowland areas shape the setting where both natural and urbanistic processes overlap. The lack of a project with an orientation towards sustainable transformations of the terrain integrating land and water increases vulnerability and inequality, which in turn, pushes away opportunities, especially in peripheral areas. Despite numerous critical aspects, these areas usually present important heritage, natural and cultural resources that have notable representative capability. Cultural and especially heritage tourism can play a fundamental role in renewing these values and transforming them into opportunities for a sustainable bottom-up development. A reflection grounded on service-design research postulating the island as a key element of a territory's reading and cultural analysis is proposed. The cultural landscape of the islands -which is interpreted from a South American, regional, and local perspective- becomes useful to characterize the tourism community space in the peripheral areas. This research identifies the possibility of an islands-centered project which can be promoted at a communal level by the heritage tourism project. The project’s activistic role and the value of the collective in the construction of possible islands suitable for tourism and everyday life in times of climate change are discussed.
