Community-based tourism is a participatory approach implemented to support the economic and social development of local communities. Here, we present the preliminary results of an initiative of primate tourism in the Mamirauá Reserve for Sustainable Development (Mamirauá SDR), Amazon rainforest, Brazil. Between January and December 2019, we monitored the sighting rate of bald uakaris (Cacajao calvus calvus) by Uakari lodge tourists aiming to identify the main variables influencing the records of this primate that could be used as a baseline for a primate-watching program. During 334 days, tourist guides provided data on 602 tourist outings, with 190 sightings of uakari groups (109 in the morning and 81 in the afternoon). These values correspond to a mean of 0.57 sightings/day and 0.32 sightings/outing while the mean number of uakaris sighted per outing was 6 individuals (± 6.6 SD; min = 1; max = 30). Uakaris were mostly traveling (55%) or feeding (35%), and less frequently resting (9%). Uakari sightings varied monthly, with 73.4% of the tourists reporting seeing uakaris at least once during their stay, while 26.6% did not. The marked seasonal variation in the water level, food availability, and the socioecological strategies of uakaris are parameters that may have facilitated the detectability of these primates by tourists in Mamirauá SDR. We concluded that primate tourism in Mamirauá SDR has a high potential to strengthen the synergism between traditional and scientific knowledge and promote social and economic benefits for local communities and new conservation actions for primates.

社区旅游是一种参与式方法，旨在支持当地社区的经济和社会发展。在这里，我们展示了巴西亚马逊雨林 Mamirauá 可持续发展保护区 (Mamirauá SDR) 灵长类动物旅游倡议的初步结果。2019 年 1 月至 12 月期间，我们监测了秃头 uakaris (Cacajao calvus calvus) 由 Uakari 旅馆游客设计，旨在确定影响这种灵长类动物记录的主要变量，这些变量可用作灵长类动物观察计划的基线。在 334 天里，导游提供了 602 次旅游出游的数据，有 190 次目击 uakari 团体（上午 109 次，下午 81 次）。这些值对应于平均 0.57 次目击/天和 0.32 目击/出游，而每次出游看到的 uakaris 平均数量为 6 个人（± 6.6 SD；最小 = 1；最大 = 30）。Uakaris 主要是在旅行 (55%) 或喂食 (35%)，很少休息 (9%)。Uakari 目击事件每月都不同，73.4% 的游客报告在逗留期间至少见过一次 uakaris，而 26.6% 没有。水位、食物供应量的显着季节性变化，uakaris 的社会生态策略是可能促进游客在 Mamirauá SDR 发现这些灵长类动物的参数。我们得出的结论是，马米劳阿 SDR 的灵长类动物旅游具有很大的潜力，可以加强传统知识和科学知识之间的协同作用，促进当地社区的社会和经济利益以及灵长类动物的新保护行动。
