The Bandung Highlands and its surrounding areas (BHLs) are rich in important geodiversity and geoheritage sites because of its values. They are of knowledge value, educational value, environmental value, cultural value, economic value, and others. An important one is the value of tradition in the form of legend, in this case the Sangkuriang in the Sunda community - the majority of the population is in BHLs - even in the archipelago. All of them have made the BHLs area an important geotourism destination in West Java. Meanwhile, the development of a new sub-discipline called "geomythology" provides an opportunity to make the Sangkuriang legend important. In this paper, a study is conducted on the Sangkuring legend as a form of geomythology that is popular among the BHLs people, even throughout the West Java province. Aspects of geomythology as a branch of science in the Sangkuriang legend are dissected and related to the events of the formation of BHLs and some of the mountains that surround it, ancient Bandung Lake, and important geological outcrops in it. The results of the study found that the names and sequences of events in the Sangkuriang legend matched with the geographical names and geological history of the formation of BHLs and their environment. People often associate various natural phenomena in BHLs with these legends. This is seen from the point of view of public education in geotourism is very important. Furthermore, the legend has also been interpreted with and by hermeneutic approach where the results enrich the narrative of interpretation in geotourism (geo-interpretation) in BHLs.

In the geotourism program and destination, as the scope of the meaning of geotourism from the experts, it is possible to have other recreational activities that take advantage of the program and the destination area. Both require the importance of conservation and respect for nature and local values in the destination area. Even in geotourism activities carried out in geopark areas, the other recreation can be in the form of activities that support the 10 main program areas in geoparks, as well as the activities in the context of achieving the “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs). One other recreation that meets these criteria is health tourism. Thus, instead of being contradicted, between geotourism and health tourism it is very possible to be combined and carried out in one agenda simultaneously with complementary each other. This paper examines an experience of combining the application of one part of health tourism with geotourism travel, hereinafter referred to as getwell tourism program. The location of the application of the getwell tourism is the Papandayan area, an important and well-known geotourism destination in West Java. Aspects of site selection are underlined, as well as the determination of the appropriate health tourism program for the location. In the Papandayan geotourism program, health tours are carried out in the form of earthing, forest therapy, pranayama, and soaking in hot springs. The results were evaluated with the wellness program that had been carried out in Kuningan, West Java and the responses from the participants. It was found that the two types of tourism complement each other and some suggestions for improvement. Thus, getwell tourism is not only possible, it can be applied in almost all geotourism and geopark destinations. Health tourism enriches geotourism and vice versa, and both implementations can be combined in the getwell tourism program.
