Abstract

Karyamukti Village, Cianjur Regency, West Java, Indonesia is high potential of geotourism, characterized by the presence of various geological heritages, but the tourism in this area has not optimally developed yet. The area is geologically composed of six rock units, namely Pogor Hornblende Andesite unit, Cikondang Andesite Lava unit, Cikondang Volcanic Breccia unit, Pyroclastic Breccia unit, Melati Andesite Intrusion, and Alluvial Deposit. Pogor Hornblende Andesite unit is Oligocene age. Cikondang Andesite Lava unit consists of volcanic breccia, volcanic sandstone, coarse tuff, and lava of late Miocene age. Cikondang Volcanic Breccia unit is composed of volcanic breccia and tuff sandstone, Pliocene age. Melati Andesite Intrusion consists of pyroxene andesite of Pliocene age. While Alluvial Deposits comprises materials of fine to very coarse grained (1 / 2-> 256 mm), Holocene age. There are lateral slip faults with strikes of Northwest-southeast, Northeast - Southwest, and North – South in the study area. The tourism sites can be divided into four categories, including geological tourism, geomorphological tourism, river tourism, and cultural tourism of the Stone Age. Geological tourism consists of landscape of endogenous processes and landscape of mineral resource. Landscape of endogenous process includes Andesite of Pasirpogor Hill, Andesite Dyke of Cimenteng, and Andesite Lava of River Cimandiri. While the landscape of mineral resource is represented by Gold Mining of Cimandiri. Geomorphological tourism expresses as denudated tectonic features of the Cikondang Valley. River tourism is represented by the Cikondang Waterfall. While cultural tourism of Stone Age is expressed by the Megalithic Site of Mount Padang. Results of the study are expected can be used by the local government as the baseline information for integrated development.
