Resumo

In recent decades, geodiversity has been gaining importance in discussions about the valuation and geoconservation of geosites. In light of this, the present study aims to quantify the tourist value of the Colina do Horto geosite using the viewpoint valuation methodology. As a result, the geosite obtained 22 points, confirming information that Colina is the geosite with the highest tourist flow due to its religious symbolism, considering the appropriation of the landform as the main manifestation of faith.
