The study area is located in Brazil near the triple border of the states of Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná and São Paulo, in the municipalities of Puerto Rico and St. Peter of Paraná (District Porto San Jose), Marilena and North Querencia in Paraná . The various tourist activities in the region use different subambientes the floodplain of the Paraná River, developing river tourism activities and fishing tourism. With the relatively recent growth of tourism in the region, it is believed that tourism intensify even more to the point of endangering the entire ecosystem of the floodplain, requiring studies on the environmental fragility and their possible impacts to the site and its surroundings. In this context, this work has as main objective, draw up a geo-environmental analysis of the upper course of the Paraná River, in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Paraná, in order to identify and characterize the most favorable river subambientes the tourist interest, determine what the environmental fragility of the area and what time of resilience that have subambientes, identifying the impacts may result from tourism and definition of river tourism carrying capacity contemplating the intrinsic features of the site considering its environmental fragility.
