By determining the seven photographs assessed results taken in the study area, it can be established, what the landscape visual quality from Belisario Quevedo parish is found in a Medium quality, while the visual absorption capacity (CAV) analysis gives an average 14 points, which indicates that the landscape is Very Fragile. Finally, the assessed fragility of the seven photographs gives an average 16 points, classifying it in class I, that is, a VERY FRAGILE landscape with a high slope area and to regenerate them difficultly.
