Jerónimo College, 3004-530 Coimbra, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The objective of this paper is to present a view of the geomorphological heritage of the municipality of João Pessoa, northern Brazil, in order to insert potential geomorphosites in urban geotouristic routes. This city is part of a sedimentary basin that developed on a failed crystalline basement, whose Plio- Pleistocene reactivation resulted in a stepped substrate, and the terrain has urban geotouristic potential from the point of view of its geomorphological heritage. The relief was fragmented into three major morphosculptural units: coastal plains and tablelands, limited by the slopes, all with their potential geomorphosites, developed at various scales and presented here in. Keywords: Geomorphological Heritage, Potential Geomorphosites, Locals of Geotouristic Interest, João Pessoa, Urban Geotourism. * * * * * * INTRODUCTION
