The intellectual Nestor dos Santos Lima stood out on the state and national scene for his role as an educator, lawyer and historian, and for his participation in the different and most relevant educational and cultural institutions of the State during the first half of the 20th century. Our theoretical framework is composed by the contributions of Roger Chartier, Michel de Certeau and Jean François Sirinelli. The documentary corpus for there search is constituted mainly by the trip report produced by the intellectual. From the perspective of the traveler, it was possible to identify the main elements that characterized the organization of education, especially primary and normal, in the cities visited.
