    Published date: 06/07/2017
    The Viruá National Park is located in the State of Roraima and is characterized as an Integral Protection Conservation area. The park has geographical and ecological attributes that give it special vocation for visitation and tourism in the Amazon, highlighting the diversity of fauna and flora and the extensive mosaic Campinaranas vegetation. The study aimed at identifying and measuring environmental impact indicators that could be used to assess and monitor the impacts of human activities on the track. The methodology used the following instruments: GPS, clinometer and remote sensing software. The trail is divided into 24 sections, in which were evaluated on: slope, width and depth of the track, and damage to natural resources and infrastructure, drainage problems, number of unofficial trails and amount of waste. The results demonstrated that the site does not present significant environmental impact, however, the lack of infrastructure is identified as signposts, comfort and security structures for the visitor, such as banks and handrails. Expected with this study is constant monitoring of the impact on the track and the proper identification of management points so that it can be used sustainably for tourism and research.
