The Poços de Caldas volcanic caldera presents a geological heritage formed by gneiss, granulites and alkaline rocks of the Proterozoic (2,5 Ga a 542 Ma), sedimentary rocks from Carboniferous to Permian (359-251 Ma), and alkaline rocks from the Middle and Upper Cretaceous to Paleogene (83-65,5 Ma). In each 59 analyzed attractive a specific questionnaire was elaborated in accordance with the appropriate pointers that allowed to determinate environmental quality of each point. Loss vegetation cover, garbage and rocks inscriptions, were the main impacts observed in the evaluated attractive. Among the management strategies suggested, it is possible to highlight that related to the accomplishment of environmental legislation, recuperation of degraded areas recuperation and sustainable planning for natural resources. In addition to setting the management strategies and monitoring the environmental impact indicators, this work provides the basis so that activities in the potential Geopark of Poços de Caldas volcanic caldera (MG), Brazil can be conducted with geoconservation.Downloads
