AB - The preservation of rituals and traditions that shape afrodescendant culture in remaining quilombolas, is directly related to the context of defense of the significant cultural patrimony to the Brazilian cultural formation. Over the years, the incidence of actions and people outside the Quilombola communities, as well as the lack of interest of new Afro-descendant generations to the teachings passed by the elders, have been incidental factors of the weakening of this culture. In the face of the adversities faced by some of the inhabitants of the from outside of the community, tourism has been analyzed and the idea of their exploration has been potentialized together, to serve as tools for attracting resources and strengthening what permeates the Afro-descendant habits previously practiced in the community and that are so important to the community and that causes so much interests for the investigation of researchers and visitation of the general public. The restructuring of the community to attend tourism is the great challenge in the articulations of preservation of the group, since they have never captured resources that would enable them to make public visits possible, even if this is done in the emblematic Santa Cruz Festival, the main attraction for the Local tourism. The main objective of this research is to analyze the feasibility of tourism development in the Cafundo, which is also driven by the preserved culture of the group, and as specific objectives, to highlight the aspects necessary and pertinent to the possibility of visitation to the quilombo, such as identifying commensality aspects and religiosity, its maintenance in the community and the valorization of memory as immaterial patrimony. The methodology is based on a bibliographical analysis that provides theoretical support to the issues of the topic, as well as interviews scripts applied to residents and/or community leaders, which help in defining parameters on the actual structural needs that govern the feasibility of opening the quilombo to the public and, consequently, strengthens the culture of its people. Faced with the search for information and effective research, the cultural loss of Afro-descendant habits and traditions in the group was evidenced by the lack of motivation for new generations and government incentives. When it came to tourism development, it was noticed the search of the community leaders in making the Cafundo a quilombo similar to those that currently have in tourism a form of subsistence. Ethnography was also applied as a methodology, based on observation and participation, also allowing the researcher s perspective as a visitor, even though this one was harmed by the lack of access to the community and the openness of the residents in having contact with the research, since in this attempt of closer contact, doors closed and leaders also fell silent at times, but they justified the silence because they believed they had already been exploited too much by other researchers, without answering the results obtained in other research.
