Summary: A premise used by landscape ecologists is that the ecological integrity can be maintained if the ecological processes persist at all levels, which emphasizes the importance of defining the interrelationship between processes in different spatial extensions. The agrotourism is increasing in Brazil as an alternative to promote the rural development and conservation of rural landscapes, but these analyses are limited only to the rural propriety, disregarding the heterogeneous landscape mosaic in which it is inserted. Therefore, this study aims to evidence the links from environmental indicators on a scale continuum to allow a holistic definition of the agrotourism potential in an environmental conservation context.
