The "Florentino Ameghino" Petrified Forest (FAPF) is the first state-private protected area in the Province of Chubut that was born legally in 2010 governed under the legal figure Custodio Rural Law XXIII No. 19, Chubut. This is an experience developed with scientific bases that allow an appropriate disclosure that is in an already consolidated phase of administrative, educational and tourist formalization. This project is an experience in cultural tourism as well as the interpretations of the fossils and the different geological events that oc-curred and the landscape. Visitors are invited to observe the geological and paleontological elements and help them to right interpretation. The FABP is a protected area that has particular geological characteristics, and is fundamentally being approached from an integral management of preserva-tion, education and sustainable use, oriented to local economic and cultural development, especially through geo-tourism. Also, a series of joint cooperation actions between the BPFA and civil entities of Villa Dique Florentino Ameghino have begun to be generated based on the guidelines of the UNESCO Geopark Program Service.
