The development of ecotourism in protected areas has been considered an alternative to mitigation of impacts on biodiversity, the enhancement of nature conservation and the opportunity to include local populations. In this sense, this thesis aimed to comparatively analyze the development of tourist activities in three traditional communities of Núcleo Picinguaba of the Serra do Mar State Park, located in Ubatuba (SP), trying to understand how the traditional populations of each community are engaged in such activities and which one of the three is more articulated to the development of ecotourism. For communities benchmarks studied, were created "Development Evaluation Indicators of the (Eco) Tourism", defined according to some basic premises of ecotourism development and evaluated from semi-structured interviews with local actors and field observations. It was concluded that the community better structured for the development of ecotourism is the Quilombo da Fazenda, although most of the residents interviewed were not awarded the benefits of the activity. The performance of the park is more restricted to the work done by environmental monitors, who work mainly in the Praia da Fazenda and Sertão da Fazenda area. Thus, there must be measures aimed at improving the living conditions of traditional populations of NP, affected by the creation of the protected area, which profoundly changed their way of life, by prohibiting their activities. The development of ecotourism in the NP should be able to generate jobs and income for the local population more broadly, promoting sustainable development and the enhancement of local culture.
