This work seeks to make an approach to the ecotourism in Agudo, RS, Brazil. Ecotourism is the majorattraction of the municipality, given its rich natural resources.The municipality of Agudo offers a notable potential for ecotourism, starting from the hill it was named after,cliffs that are used for the practice of extreme sports, waterfalls, bathing resorts, trails in inner Mata Atlântica,biodiversity with remarkable fauna and flora, as well as deposits of rare fossils dating back to past geologicaleras.However, according to the inspection of the available documents and the current reality of the area, we havenoticed a shortcoming in the effective implementation of tourism by the local government. This situation alsoreflects the inability of private institutions to establish viable and sustainable products.Aiming at contributing to the resumption of ecotourism in the town, were created the “Ecoturistical Map ofAgudo municipality”, the diagnosis of the potential for tourism, the appreciation of the current ecotourism andnatural sports activities, a proposal of “A Behaviour Code for the Ecotourists”, and were drawn theconclusions and recommendations, subject to continuous and systematic appropriation from the localgovernment.
