Brazilian historiography, regarding the phenomenon of tourism and hospitality is still extremely scarce, because, it uses historical parameters determined by the logic of an ethnocentric vision. In order to try to change such understanding, we are developing studies on writings of the foreign writers from XVI to XIX century, who for several causes came to Brazil to live, work, research or for a visit, and decided to document their stay among us. We began with George Gardner, a Scottish naturalist that came to Brazil in 1836 and stayed up to 1941. Back in England in 1846 he wrote the book: Travels in the Interior of Brazil, mainly in the provinces of the North, and in the gold and diamond regions during the years of 1836-1841
