| Sumario: | This study is framed in the field of geotourism as an alternative for the dissemination and conservation of the geopatrimony of the Petrified Forest of Puyango, an aspiring Global Geopark of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO] Global Geopark. The area shows significant evidence of geosites and geopaleontological remains from the Cretaceous period, which have been insufficiently studied. Geosites are defined as enclaves with distinctive geological features that serve as evidence of the Earth's past and evolution. The proposal of geotourism routes aims not only at the recognition of geological resources, but also at their conservation, through informative, interpretative and educational activities. Two types of routes were identified, for recreational and scientific purposes, following a methodology that establishes a scale of priorities based on expert judgment and prioritizes several alternatives according to a series of criteria. The results indicate that the proposal will effectively contribute to the recognition of the geoheritage, as well as to the conservation and tourism development of the Puyango Petrified Forest Geopark Project. |
