Protected areas are the spaces in which geopatrimony can be highlighted, taught and preserved. The study and assessment of the geoforms and relief processes are preserved through management instruments that integrate geoconservation. In this sense, three relevant agents stand out in the intervention of geomorphological heritage conservation: geoscientists, visitors and managers. The aim of this work was to elaborate cartography as an essential instrument for the geoconservation of Lihué Calel National Park. For this, geopatrimony and geotourism maps were prepared with information that was collected through the background check and mainly the field work carried out. Proposals of geotrails and posters were also made to highlight the value of geomorphosites.
