Campos Gerais National Park (PNCG) is located in the municipalities of Ponta Grossa, Castro and Carambeí in the Center-East region of Paraná. Among the places that have visitation inside the park is the attractive Furnas Gêmeas, a place characterized by the karst relief feature. Until April 2018, access to this attraction was free, with no control or management in the visitations. This way, visitors were monitored at the entrance of the attraction. The methodology used was the collection of camera images, which included area recognition, fixation tests, collection time and capture interval, as well as bibliographic and documentary research. The article aims to present the total visits, times and days of the week in which the highest flow was recorded. In total, the collection was performed in six months (between November 2017 and April 2018). Based on the analysis, we can understand that one of the activities performed is the contemplation of the landscape at sunset, since the attraction offers no structure in the place other than its own natural beauty. The data presented may serve as a contribution to a future plan for public use.
