The number of tourist arrivals to South America, which has unique natural objects and monuments of cultural history, is growing quite quickly. It is home to the highest waterfall in the world, the Amazon River, the Amazon rainforest, and the high mountain peaks of the Andes. There are also geological objects (waterfalls, outcrops, glacial landforms, etc.) that create a powerful tourist potential of the mainland, which is currently used quite little. Some properties that are not properly assessed are generally within private property, making it difficult to use them for tourism purposes.
This article provides general information about geological tourism, the concept of a geological monument of nature and geological diversity. The geological outline of the studied continent is considered, and examples of geological objects in South America, their description, are given. The results are presented in the form of a map, where the studied objects are indicated.
Keywords: geological tourism, geological natural monument, geological formations, South America.
