Turístico means "tourist" or "touristic." While it's a common word, its use in this song is quite unique and intriguing.
Neton Vega uses it metaphorically to describe a person's body as a "lugar turístico" (tourist place). This unexpected comparison suggests that the person's body is a desirable destination, somewhere he wants to visit and return to, making it a memorable and enticing word choice in the context of the lyrics.
Neton Vega's "/Turistico" is a super catchy track about a man who's completely smitten with someone new, even though he's trying to keep things casual. He admits, "Yo te confieso, desde que te vi me convertí en fanático" [I confess, ever since I saw you I became a fanatic], because she's so "fuera de lo típico" [out of the typical]. He's enchanted by her "mirada y tu perfume mágico" [gaze and your magical perfume], even if his thoughts about her are a bit "explícitos" [explicit]!
Despite his strong feelings, he's been hurt before, saying, "La última vez que yo entregué el amor me lo dejaron crítico" [The last time I gave love, they left it critical]. So, he's trying to protect himself, insisting, "Yo no le meto corazón y tú tampoco deberías" [I don't put my heart into it, and neither should you]. He's even got a cruise planned, but he's sure he'll be back because her body is like a "lugar turístico" [tourist spot] to him. It's a fun, honest look at trying to keep things light when you're really into someone.
