    O naturalista viajante Ă© aquele que nos sĂ©culos XVIII e XIX dedicava-se ao estudo da histĂłria natural, ou seja, da natureza, compreendendo os astros, o ar, os animais, os vegetais e minerais da superfĂ­cie e da profundidade da terra. Enquanto os naturalistas-viajantes do perĂ­odo colonial eram exclusivamente sĂșditos da Coroa portuguesa, encarregados de revelar as riquezas e utilidade dos recursos naturais, os que percorreram o Brasil no sĂ©culo XIX, apĂłs 1808, vinham de diversas regiĂ”es da Europa e estavam empenhados na observação e classificação dos homens e de suas lĂ­nguas considerados entre as espĂ©cies da natureza. Ligados Ă  nobreza ou a sociedades cientĂ­ficas, percorriam o solo brasileiro num esforço conjunto e planejado de revelar, colecionar e classificar os reinos naturais da AmĂ©rica.<br>During the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries, travelers that studied natural history were referred to as travel naturalists. Nature included the stars and planets, the atmosphere, flora and fauna, and surface and underground minerals. While in colonial times they were limited to citizens of Portugal who were instructed to discover natural resources and their uses, those who traveled through Brazil after 1808 came from different regions of Europe and were concerned with observing and classifying people and natural specimens found along the way. Sponsored by either noblemen or scientific societies, they traveled around Brazil in a combined endeavor of discovering, collecting, and classifying natural specimens on the American continent
