Conserving the geological heritage in Jalisco implies, identifying, classifying and substantiating the importance of geosites in Jalisco and its subsequent dissemination through geotourism. The above can contribute to the creation of geo-park (s), according to the definition and methodology of UNESCO, with the consequent economic benefit to the inhabitants of these regions. The disclosure of geological information encourages an appreciation and care of abiotic resources (rocks, minerals, fossils, morphology, soil and water), especially prior to productive activities, minimizing their damage or avoiding building in areas with geological hazards. Jalisco has a great geodiversity, compared to other states, its history begins approximately 200 million years ago, recorded in the Sierra Madre del Sur and in the Jalisco Block, the most recent volcanic and tectonic activity is recorded in the Volcanic Belt Mexican. The previous provinces, together with the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Central Plateau, contain a wide range of rocks, fossil areas of economic and cultural importance (most of 70 places) and relate the geological history and its dynamics. Geothermal activity, is present in 400 locations.
