The State Park of Ibitipoca (PEI) is a state conservation unit most visited in the state of Minas Gerais, according to data from State Forest Institute (IEF, 2012) and these statistics reflect the great scenic beauty of its geopatrimony, such as caves, waterfalls, river beaches, stone bridge, etc. The objective of this study is to make the local geological and morphological characterization so that one can understand the existing geopatrimony there. One hopes that the information made available here may be, in the future, adapted and passed on to the park visitors, promoting not only the contemplation, but also the understanding of geopatrimony, under the perspective of valuing this aspect of nature.
