- Abstract
The present study is an exploratory research that analyzes the sensation of "flow experience" in the behavior of adventure tourists at the Eco Parque Cia de Aventura in the Brazilian town of Nova Roma do Sul. The theoretical background presents the main topics related to the concept of flow in the fi elds of tourism and psychology. The concept of flow was assessed through a survey of tourists who had participated in a rafting activity. The results indicate that the respondents reach high levels of flow, especially in the dimension of analysis known as autotelic experience. The research concluded that experiences that combine reflection with challenging activities promote greater self understanding and consequently, are generators of flow.
