Since 2006 the Geological Mining and Metallurgical Institute of Peru (INGEMMET) has made an inventory and and mapped the distribution of unique geological sites that could be considered as geological heritage. the priotities of this activity are the conservation and enhancement of sites for scientific research, and importantly, the enhancement of geo-education and geotourism. Seven areas of the country have been evaluated: Marcahuasi, Lima (2006); Andagua Volcanoes Valley (2008) and Colca and Cotahuasi canyons in Arequipa (2011-2012); Protected Natural Areas (PNA) like Paracas (2007) in Ica, and Huayllay (2009) located in the center of the country. Also, an inventory of geological and mining heritage in the Puno region, with emphasis in the Tinajani Canyon was made 2013-2014. Outreach has been given with the publication of two geotouristic guides (two more in press) presented at geology ...

La configuración geológica y paisajes dominantes en la región Puno están estrechamente relacionados a los dominios geológico-tectónicos (unidades morfoestructurales). Esto lo hace poseer una característica fisiográfica-morfológica, estructural-tectónica, estratigráfica, contenido paleontológico, características hidrogeológicas y termales, filiación petrolífera y metalogenética que lo diferencia de los departamentos vecinos. El interés en explorar los georecursos minerales, termales e hidrocarburos que alberga, además de sus atractivos paisajes y geoformas (lago Titicaca, cordilleras glaciares, Altiplano, volcanes, fuentes termales) hacen considerar a la región Puno, un territorio con una gran geodiversidad en el país. Estas características son evaluadas en el presente trabajo, tomando como base las investigaciones geológicas precedentes, que han permitido elaborar ...

The Colca Canyon (Central Andes, Southern Peru), about 100 km long and 1–3 km deep, forms a magnificent cross section of the Earth’s crust giving insight into mutual relations between lithostratigraphical units, and allowing relatively easy interpretation of the fascinating geological history written in the rocky beds and relief. Current activity of tectonic processes related to the subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American Plate exposed the geological heritage within study area. Welldeveloped tectonic structures present high scientific values. The volcanic landforms in the Valley of the Volcanoes and around the Colca Canyon include lava flows, scoria cones and small lava domes. They represent natural phenomena which gained recognition among tourists, scientists and local people. Studies performed by the Polish Scientific Expedition to Peru since 2003 recognized in are...
