This article researches the travel experience linked to the religious experience. To do this, he takes the case of the Protestant missionary, Emilio Olsson, who adopted colportage as a missionary strategy, which led to the installation of new Protestant projects in South America. Willl reflect on the religious travel, seen from the discovery and evangelization, even in the nineteenth century. The hypothesis holds that the introspective way of living and practicing their faith had an impact on the way of recognizing the Latin American territory at the same time that it had an impact on the way of exposing the strategic role of the increase in Protestant missionary practice in this same space.

Palavras-chave : evangelization; mission strategy; South America; protestantism; modernity.
