The role of geological heritage in inno-vation and territorial competitiveness of intermediate destinations for tourism, associated with the category of protected landscape in protected natural areas (PNAs), is analised. The objective was to identify the place occupied by geological heritage and geodiversity in the formation of local productive systems or tourism mi-cro-clusters associated with protected landscapes of two case studies: Meseta de Somuncurá and Río Limay, Río Negro province, Patagonia, Argentina. Four factors were studied in tourist circuits with geosites: external linkage, distance in time of transportation, existence of a master plan and volunteer work, in situ information. The main results obtained were: 1. In the most consolidated tourism offer in both NPAs, the private sector has generated incipient local productive systems or micro-clusters of tourism; 2. The geological heritage and geodiversity are ignored in the interpretation of protected cultural landscapes, although relevant SIGs were identifed. Some conclusions were: 1. The geological heritage could in the short and medium term become the basis of secondary attractions for an intermediate territory of tourism, and in the long term, turn the periphe-ral natural protected areas into final destinations for geotourism; 2. Even though the geological heritage and geoconservation are fundamental elements for the interpretation of non-anthropic landscapes in peripheral regions, they have insufficient protection under the protected landscape category.
