Abstract

Caverna do Diabo is the first cave officially opened for tourism in the State of São Paulo and one of the most visited nowadays. The management of its tourist use is defined by a Speleological Management Plan, which includes daily visitation limits and guidelines for monitoring visitation and the environment. In order to meet the needs for detail in the studies previously carried out, a monitoring of the cave climate and adjacent area was developed, and the temperature and relative humidity of the air were measured. The results were analyzed descriptively and according to visitation data. It was observed that variations in the daytime cycle inside the cave respond to external variations quickly, showing high atmospheric connectivity in the monitored region. The impacts of visitation were observed only in air temperature in a single monitored point, with insignificant variations in intensity and permanence. The following conclusions stand out: the recommendation to change the fragility of the cave climate of a monitored part and, if it is of interest to the management, the discussion of the established tourist carrying capacity of the Traditional and Erectus tour routes.
