This work uses conceptual categories of analysis of Cultural Geography and Etnogeografia to analyze and reinterpret landscapes related to the process of obtaining political visibility in recent years / decades, the Maroons cores domiciled in the Jequitinhonha Valley. The Jequitinhonha is a valley of many cultures, with the emergence, then, social segments that have recently streamlined and reclassified its social dynamics. Are, in fact, those communities that give the Valley the cultural vitality that differentiates and distinguishes the context of other mesoregions the state of Minas Gerais. Our investigation was vertical in the communities of Alto Bois, the Mill Stream and Barra do Capon, located in the municipality of Angelândia, located in the Upper Valley of Jequitinhonha. The High Farm of Bois is an important regional historical and cultural site, having been reported in travelers' accounts and European chroniclers who visited the region centuries ago. Were adopted as instruments: bibliographical and documentary research; Field reconnaissance and semi-structured interviews. We use the interpretive lines of contemporary Cultural Geography, especially the more unorthodox views of "cultural Marxism" Denis Cosgrove. Considering the current context of the exercise of new territoriality and reworking / identity redefinition, there is Jequitinhonha in the development of emerging cultural identities, ie those able to offer a challenge to the dominant culture and bearers of a new social message. This deed context, then, alternative cultural landscapes to the extent that such communities have lately experienced a distinctly reterritorializante dynamic and growing ethnopolitical exercised leadership. We conclude that the process now experienced by these communities, refers consolidation of emerging cultural landscapes. Thus it is necessary to know the structure of a community as a cultural group and its relationship with the place to indicate ways in which tourism could find better interaction and adhesion within the community.
