This research focuses on the design and evaluation of tactile images to serve as a mediation tool between people with visual impairments and the landscape. For this, three experiences in different tourist destinations have been considered, managing to implement one of them so far. The methodology used integrates various tactile exploration techniques commonly used by visually impaired people to recognize and process distal information. The results obtained show the interest in using this type of material to develop proposals in the field of inclusive tourism.
