Abstract: Geotourism in the "Geological Formations of Torre Torre'' would be affected by the presence of solid waste. The objective is to determine the effects caused by solid waste in geotourism. Three zones were divided into sectors: High Zone (ZA), Middle Zone (ZB) and Low Zone (ZC), identifying representative geotopes in order to propose a geotourism route and determine the effects of waste through critical points in relation to geotopes; through surveys, visitors made known their perception of the environmental and geological aspect. 12 geotopes and 34 critical points for waste were identified, mainly organic with 54.22%, according to the perspective of people, the ZA is the most attractive and affected by solid waste, in addition to 83.12% think that geotopes are affected by these. On the other hand, visitors are unaware of the geological aspects of the place and the classification of waste; Based on the location of the geotopes, access and recommendation of the people, the geotourism route was developed. In conclusion, the waste does not generate negative effects on the geological heritage or the perspective of the visitors on their return; however, it is proposed to promote geotourism as an option for sustainable development.
