This article is a theoretical assay on adventure tourism, addressing its contradictions and intersections with other tourism niches, and its relationship with three separate categories of analysis: risk; diversity and interaction; and the engagement of tourists. Carried out as part of the research for a Master’s degree, this essay investigates and clarifies the implications relating to this flourishing tourism segment, seeking to identify possible perspectives for its analysis. Also, based on different concepts, and in light of the social conditions today, it identifies elements that produce the contradictions of adventure tourism, and recognizes the potential for renewing relationships arising through adventure trips.
