On account of the precaution to raise the quality of life for people in Brazil and Colombia, isolated studies were developed to know the main human and physical resources and thus establish standards for proper management and exploitation of the territory. The aim of this study was to map and compare the geology, geomorphology, soils and land use and natural vegetation of the high plains in the municipalities of Uberlândia (Brazil) and Puerto López (Colombia). Georeferenced Information System Processing was used (SPRING) for storage, handling and processing of information collected in the field and satellite imagery. The results show that there are many important differences between the municipalities of Puerto Lopez and Uberlândia, which makes reconsidered the idea of transfer of technology packages do not coded in relation to the conditions of each place where they will be implemented. Deliberately do not recommend using the same methods or technologies for agricultural production in the two municipalities.
