Geomorphological Heritage in Viñales National Park (Aspiring UNESCO Geopark): Geomatic Tools Applied to Geotourism in Pinar del Río, Cuba

A detailed analysis of the Viñales National Park (VNP) was carried out to evaluate main geosites geomorphological interest inside park. This allowed selection areas (AIG) and localities (LIG) with 20 geological (PIG) suitable their importance as geoheritage. Moreover, three field trips one virtual itinerary encompassing park aimed improve geological–geomorphological knowledge be used in geotouristic preservation issues. The methodology included preparing five maps: relief, drainage pattern, slopes, lithology geomorphology (forms structures) representing them on a digital terrain model (DTM) for better visualisation selecting (poljes, valleys mountain fronts). evaluation selected PIG is based criteria proposed by Spanish Institute Geology Mining, grouping places interest. favour real-time usage web sites geoportals.
