Abstract
In the present post-modern context, tourist dynamics have mutated. This is expressed in the Sistema de Tandilia, particularly in the southern hills of the city Tandil, where its intrinsic characteristics, such as territorial geodiversity, give it value and produce a differentiation of the surrounding area, turning it into a scenario of territorial transformations linked to the diverse tourist practices. Many of these transformations are to the detriment of the geodiversity and geoconservation of this space. This study aims to analyse the transformations and the link between tourism consumption, geodiversity and territorial geoconservation in this sector. For the purpose of this research, a multi-temporal analysis of the transformations associated with tourism consumption in the study area was conducted from a descriptive perspective, based on the comparison of satellite images extracted from different sources. To this was added the survey of photographs in the territory around points of interest for the present analysis.
Keywords: Tourism, Urbanization, Infrastructure, Tandil, Argentina.
