The municipality of Itirapina is located in the Center-East region of the state of São Paulo and is part of the geological context of the Paraná Basin, possessing a great variety of geological heritage. Itirapina is included in the select group of municipalities in this region of the state that make up the Projeto Geoparque Corumbataí, which aims to implement a geopark, that is, an area where sites and landscapes of geological relevance occur and are administered with the objective of conservation of these elements, and in addition to the implementation of the geopark, the project also seeks the UNESCO Geopark certification. In order for the project to be successful, it is necessary to carry out studies on the geodiversity sites of the whole region contemplated by the geopark. Thus, the main objective of this work was to study the geodiversity sites of the of Itirapina, applying geoconservation strategies, with emphasis on the inventory and methods of interpretative evaluation to characterize them. For this, a preliminary survey of sites was carried out based on articles, theses, dissertations and publications, followed by the methodology of inventory proposed by Brilha (2005). As a result, the inventory of the sites of the municipality was obtained, and the evaluation made about them. These results are of great importance for the advancement of geoconservation and for the preservation of the geological heritage, since both the inventory and the evaluation act in the identification of the values of the geosites, thus allowing to guide subsequent strategies of protection and conservation of the geodiversity of the study area
