Virtual fieldtrips in palaeontology and geology offer an expanded environment to make field sites more accessible for a broader audience. Based on extensive experience working in upper Neogene deposits in the province of Huelva, on the western edge of the Guadalquivir Basin, we have selected 10 sites for their regional palaeontological-geological interest (geosites). By applying geoinformatic tools, we have produced a virtual 3D tour of the georeferenced geosites, integrating multiple thematic digital layers (including geological maps, topographical maps, a digital terrain model and orthophotos). Each stop in the tour contains descriptive and graphic elements that can be viewed in free virtual globes (e.g., Google Earth), combined with diagrams, photographs and information sheets that quantitatively assess the cultural tourism, scientific and educational value of the geosite. From this digital 3D geodatabase, we propose a virtual flight itinerary that can be displayed in compatible video formats and using new technologies, such as smartphones, tablets or iPads.
