    Throughout history, the Mapuche Lafkenche people have had a close relationship with the natural environment. Their worldview, culture and way of life are based on a deep relationship with the sea, the land and its natural elements. Water and its water landscapes are considered a living being, with which they must maintain a relationship of respect and reciprocity. The land, for its part, is the space where life develops and spaces of cultural relevance are found, which they call sacred, because they house ancestral spirits (Del Carmen Aigo et al., 2021). This relationship is threatened by non-integrative or monologic planning processes, which come from processes of colonization and territorial dispossession governed by dynamics of state control, economic exploitation, functionality in terms of connectivity and access to basic services (Caniuguan, 2020). That is to say, there is an imposition regarding territorial planning systems, which ignores the ways of living and spaces of pre-existing cultural significance in indigenous territories, in this case Mapuche Lafkenche. The existing territorial planning, by ignoring these spaces of cultural significance and associated ways of living, fragments and puts at risk the relationship of the communities with their sites of cultural relevance and their link with the spirits that live there. The present study seeks to identify and analyze, through a predominantly qualitative mixed approach, the presence, location and state of spaces of cultural significance in the Lafkenche territorial units of Ayllarewes, Winkul, Romüpülli and Weicha, located on the coastal edge of Puerto Saavedra. The objective is to understand how existing planning instruments have affected these spaces and, from there, propose guidelines that promote intercultural planning that protects and values the Lafkenche cultural heritage.
