Geodiversity is highly regarded by tourism and, in this sense, geotourism highlights the aspects and promotes the dissemination of the abiotic environment in a language accessible to the lay public. Faced with the potential of using geodiversity, it is necessary to establish planning measures for its sustainable use. Thus, the present article has the general objective of identifying geosites located in the Serra do Rola Moça State Park, Minas Gerais, performing a quantitative evaluation and risk of degradation with an emphasis on tourism use. The methodological procedures used were bibliographic research and data collection in the field. For the quantification of the geosites it was adapted to the methodology proposed by Brilha (2015), that is, changes were made in some of the criteria suggested by the author, taking into account the reality of the study area. From the identification and quantification of the geosites it was evidenced that the geotourism can be developed in the Serra do Rola Moça State Park, although some deficiencies in the infrastructure of the geosites have been identified. Thus, it is believed that the development of geotourism activities will contribute to the knowledge and conservation of the local geodiversity, but for this it is necessary to elaborate strategies that involve the managers, the local community and academic.
