Abstract

Nature Walkings constitute in a type of rural tourism and propose that rural communities organize walkings circuits and sell products and services to walkers coming from urban centers. The study aims to analyze the origin of the project Nature Walkings, adopting the geographical cut of the Ivaí Valley Territory, in state of Paraná. This analysis observed the development process of the project and the motivations that led 42 actors to engage on it (farmers, walkers and organizers). Through semi-structured interviews, it was observed that the project borned of an independent social organization, but was strongly driven by various actions of public policies, particularly by MDA and EMATER Paraná. The motivations that led the actors to engage in the project belong mainly to the social dimension, then the dimension of prestige and economic.
