The Juatinga Peninsula, located in Costa Verde, a region at the south coast of Rio de Janeiro and north coast of the São Paulo, has characteristics wi th potencial for the development of touristic activities, such as natural attractions and cultural heritage. A particular characterist of the peninsula is to be the homeland of tradicional communities: caiçaras, quilombolas and indigenous of the ethnicity Mbya Guarani. However, this region has passed through socioeconomic transformations that have a direct impact in these traditional people's lives. These modifications are associated with the creation of protected by law areas, works of infrastructure, real state speculation, and other questions that made clear the confliccts and the disputes related to use and occupation of the soil. Along this process, the traditional communities of region, as the caiçaras, need to strengthen their demands and to organize themselves politically in order to search for their rights. As a way to ensure the permanence and protagonism in the development process, the communities has discussed the implementation of community based tourism and a diferent scholar education for child ren. In this context, the present work has as objective analyze the process of the construction and consolidation of the pilot project of caiçara diferent scholar education Praia do Sono and Pouso da Cajaíba, both located at the Juatinga Peninsula, and its interface with the base community tourism development. To base the discussion we used instruments of qualitative research, through the partipation in places of discussion of the referred themes , structured and semi structured interviews with the main acto rs, and analisis of the bibliographic reference. The analisis presented in this work indicates that the existance of the first classes of the diferent scholar education in the basic education II (6º to 9º grade) at schools in the regions is a result of a c hain of events of mobilization that can be a stimulus to a broader offer, to other communities, of an educational model wich incentivize iniciatives and valorize potencials of the territory, like ambiental features and cultural heritage, as the community b ased tourism does.
