Summary:The objective of the work was to evaluate the profile and environmental impacts at the Archeological Site xique-xique I, where the cave paintings of the city of Carnaúba dos Dantas - RN are located. The methodology included bibliographic research, questionnaire and site visit. 20 people were interviewed. It was found that there are environmental impacts, permanent risks of degradation by anthropic, natural factors and also by factors of human transformation caused by tourism present in that environment. Among the main impacts were cited: graffiti, deforestation and accumulation of solid waste. These factors can cause some paintings to disappear. The impacts are mainly associated with visiting practices by tourists themselves.
