Abstract
In the context of recent 21st century discussions about heritage and sustainability, this article aims to make a contribution to the theoretical-empirical discussion about the complexity of the opening up of natural areas with local cultures for tourism. The case study presented is related to a Brazilian protected area with religious management, called Caraca Sanctuary. With a fieldwork methodology comprising participant observation and semi-structured interviews, we seek an understanding of the local values of the territory in question, the changing of space and tourist practices within the environmental historicity and the respective complexity of this process in the past and present. With this qualitative analysis, we aim to add to the debate that seeks to build the relationships between history and tourism in the contemporary environmental context.
