The municipality of Bonito, located in the State of Pernambuco, northeast Brazil, has as its main touristic attraction several waterfalls embedded by a geodiversity characterized by igneous and metamorphic rocks. However, the tourism activity implemented in the area, does not use its full potential. The geologic information is not associated with geomorphologic features (waterfalls) and used to improve the knowledge and environmental education. This work has the goal to fulfill this gap with the implementation of tourism with geologic base. The main emphasis will be the educational and scientific values of these waterfalls hosted in igneous and metamorphic rocks. To accomplish this objective it is presented here a diagnosis of some waterfalls of Bonito. Geologic and geomorphologic analyses are associated with qualification and quantification of controlling parameters, followed by discussion of the main threads to geodiversity. A new method for quantification of geossites is presentend. This method was constructed based on that proposed by Brilha (2005). It attempts to give more reasonable mathematic meaning for the parameters analyzed; presenting graphics that will facilitate the interpretation of the values obtained by the quantification of geosites.
