This study investigated whether geodiversity is part of the tourist experience, on the Cataratas trail of the Iguaçu National Park in Brazil. The tourist was the analysis unit. The Shadowing method, with a qualitative approach, was used in the field information collection. To that was added a documental and bibliographic survey, which was then treated by using Content Analysis and interpreted based on the conceptual contribution of Tourism and Domains of Experience of the pine-gilmorian model, of Geodiversity and Geotourism. The research was carried out in a visitation area of the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, on the Cataratas trail. This is the path in which the tourist has a better view of the falls and is the only activity already included in the park ticket. The study concluded that tourists do not spontaneously identify the geodiversity. That is, they do not understand the natural processes – including geological, hydrological, and geomorphological processes – necessary for the formation of that landscape that attracts them, or even the perception of the explicit abiotic elements involved, such as rocks and relief. The terms mentioned by tourists about these elements are the components of the landscape shown to them.
