The Entre Soles y Lunas Foundation is an entity that was created in 2006 in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay with a focus on migration and heritage issues.

Up to 2019, 14 international meetings have been held in different parts of Ibero-America with the participation of universities from different continents, professionals, researchers, states and social organizations who have contributed their knowledge from different themes and perspectives.
Entre Soles y Lunas has developed field work in Bolivia, Uruguay, Spain and Colombia to define proposals from the perspective of heritage as a factor of integral development. It has also contributed its knowledge for the enhancement of heritage as an alternative to rural emptying in Europe.
