Any curriculum must be continuously evaluated to be successful and high quality in order to improve and achieve complete student formation. In fact, this becomes highly important because it allows generating and obtaining significant achievements in the educational process towards a rational and scientifically valid development to face the current challenges. The aim of this research was to conduct the curriculum evaluation of the Tourism major at Amazon State University (AEU) through a methodology with a change-oriented epistemological approach. A participatory - action research method was used consisting of a systemic process where the participation of all actors involved in the educational process are required, even internal or external ones, since they have the deepest knowledge of their problems and reality. The results of the research show the findings, failures, weaknesses and strengths used as a base to solve them and promote teaching quality which is one of the major educational challenges in the XXI century.
