In this way, the relationship between man and nature can be evidenced from the proposals for geoconservation and the identification of these areas for future generations. [...]the integrity of nature and the best quality of life for man will be maintained. he scientific and local community will be informed about the issues of geographic space, enabling investments and better management practices in the area. The mapping and study of geosites are recent in tropical regions and in southern Minas Gerais there are no considerable studies on this subject. [...]the absence of strategic information on geodiversity can lead to serious problems related to the socio-environmental impact of the absence of public conservation policies (Garcia et al., 2018). At first, a bibliographical review on Geoconservation and Geosites was carried out, focusing on the relevance of the subject for science and society. [...]information regarding the physical aspects of the study area was collected and interpreted based on the satellite images, topographic maps and information available in the literature (Brilha and Pereira, 2014; Brilha, 2016; Reverte et al., 2019). [...]the possibility of comparison and identification of the potential use of each element studied (Carcavilla et al., 2009).
