Georienteering: combining geological mapping learning and sporting skills. Georienteering is a new academic proposal for Geology Graduation Courses, where the geology student executes a practical activity that is classified as interactive learning of geoenvironmental and sport education The Georienteering is based on the sport of Orienteering sport where the practitioners to reach to "points" marked in the land, called "control points ", assisted by a map and a georienteering compass. This activity uses to determine the occurrence and location of outcrops with lithologies and/or structures for easy viewing to be plotted on orientation map, along predetermined route and estimated time. It uses geologic data from the field and as a result it helps to provide a better performance in activities of geologic mapping, to improve the sense of orientation and geologic reasoning and to acquire the techniques for walking safely at unknown places.
