The city of Indianopolis is located in the Mineiro Triangle and is recognized by the beauty and diversity of its waterfalls. These attributes have led us to study such city, searching for the identification of the geotouristic potential of its waterfalls for educational activities, as well as select one which shows to be the most suitable for the scholars. The methodology used in the beginning involved bibliographical research about the theme, field work in the area of the waterfalls and, finally, office work, a moment in which data were interpreted and crossed. From the methodology used one has the conclusion that the waterfalls of Indianopolis present a great potential to be used by geotourism, and also the Salto de Furnas (Furnas's leap) has presented the Best place for educational activities, due to, among other factors, the facility to access it, lithoestratigraphic richness, preservation state, etc.
