This paper presents the main perspectives established from the use of property inherited from de sugar cane plantation activity in the developing of the tourism activity, in the northern part of the state of Rio de Janeiro. In order to do so, the main concepts which allow us to understand how areas once considered rural or known as linked to any type of agricultural activity go through a process of transformation by which they end up inserted into a new stage will be discussed. These transformations are perceived in the spaces once called rural areas but nowadays show up with a new perspective of usage, and which before were exclusively destined to agricultural activities. Another aspect which may be noticed is of the singular sceneries which constitute cultural patrimonies, in the sense as they became socially representative. The scenery then ends up linked to the local identity. In the districts studied these previously mentioned sceneries are marked by the traditional sugar cane plantations, which for more than one century deeply influenced the life and the everyday of that portion of the local life, allowing a peculiar architecture and scenery. Thus, this paper aims at the understanding of how the scenery may be used in the developing of the tourism activity as a means of financial profit. In addition, an attempt to visualize the main characters which promote the property re-valorization and how the scenery is modified by the tourism activity will also be performed
