Recomendar futuros estudios en la temática exokárstica, ya que la información es muy escasa, lo cual contribuiría a un mejor desarrollo turístico del departamento de Malargüe.  Metodología: La metodología aquí aplicada se abordó a partir del estudio de las geoformas kársticas mediante un exhaustivo trabajo de interpretación de imágenes satelitales y posterior control de campaña. Además, se desarrolló una valoración sobre la base de trabajos previos (Panizza y Piacente 1993, Reynard, Fontana, Kozlik y Scapozza, 2007; Pereira, Pereira y Caetano-Alves, 2007; Zouros, 2007; Coratza, Galve, Soldati y Tonelli, 2012) y se basó en tres conjuntos de valores: valor científico, valor adicional y valor de uso.  Resultados: La dolina N.° 6 (laguna de La Niña Encantada) fue la que obtuvo mayor puntuación total, siendo casi perfecta; con valoraciones máximas en casi todos los criterios.  Conclusiones: Los datos obtenidos a partir de la valoración sugiere que la primer georruta propuesta, ubicada al norte del área de estudio, comprendida por las dolinas N.° 1 a N.° 7, es la más propicia para la determinación de geositios. La valoración más alta de esta georruta fue de 9 puntos, laguna de La Niña Encantada, un registro casi perfecto en todos los criterios de clasificación.  Financiamiento: Departamento de Geología, Universidad Nacional de San Juan.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT  Objective:  Evaluate and assess sites of geological interest by proposing tourist georoutes associated with karst geoforms (sinkholes) and then propose them in the Global Geosites project of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). Recommend future studies on the exokarst theme since it is very scarce and this would contribute to a better tourist development in the Malargüe department.  Methodology:  The methodology applied here was approached from the study of the karst geoforms through an exhaustive work of interpretation of satellite images and subsequent campaign control. In addition, an assessment is developed based on previous work (Panizza and Piacente 1993, Reynard et al., 2007, Pereira et al., 2007, Zouros 2007, Coratza, P., et al., 2012) and is based on three sets of values: Scientific Value, Additional Value and Use Value.  Results:  The sinkhole Nº6 (Laguna de la Niña Encantada) is the one that obtained the highest total score, being almost perfect; with maximum ratings on almost all criteria.  Conclusions: The data obtained from the assessment suggests that the first proposed georoute, located to the north of the study area, comprised of sinkholes 1 to 7, is the most favorable for the determination of geosites. The highest evaluation of this georoute was 9 points, Laguna de la Niña Encantada, being almost perfect in all the classification criteria.
