This paper starts by offering a general perspective on participatory epistemologies and methodologies developed in Latin America during the second half of the twentieth century. In this context, we position the assembly as a space for the construction and implementation of participatory methodologies to build knowledge focused on territorial care. The Geoparque Mundial UNESCO Mixteca Alta, located in Oaxaca, Mexico, is presented as a case study. The results show how to build a structure for territorial appropriation benefitting residents. The conclusions underline the importance of the design and implementation of participatory research processes according to two analytical levels dealing with epistemology and methodology.
