The tourism developed on the natural attractions inappropriately is the main source of pressure and degradation of these places, finding it necessary to obtain information on the visitation process. Having this intuition, the perception and preferences were analyzed in the two natural tourist attraction of the Maroaga Cave Environmental Protection Area (APA)and Presidente Figueiredo/AM, regarding the management and conservation of the areas. Exploratory research was used from a Case Study, having done 30 interviews. It was detected that the visitors were more interested in visiting waterfalls, and that there is a lack of security, watchfulness, and adequate infrastructure for stays and having meals in these places, along with the presence of environmental impacts. It is up to the owners to make improvements by applying measures of administration according to the biophysical conditions of these places, and it is up to the Public Service to maintain order within the APA tourism, ensuring the effective security of the attractions.
