'Moon' on Earth

In the local language, Ischigualasto means "where the Moon stopped". As its name suggests, the arid land of northwestern Argentina has a lot of characteristics that make visitors come here to think that they have strayed to the Moon.

All over the place, there are only sand and stones, sometimes there are a few clusters of cacti and poetic shrubs. The temperature sometimes falls below -10 ⁰ C, sometimes up to 45 ⁰ C. The most frightening is the wind, with the speed of 20-40km / h, constantly blowing constantly. Over millions of years, persistent winds have eroded large rocks, forming bizarre shapes: mushroom shapes, submarines, sphinxes . scattered everywhere, forming a scene Strange as in extraterrestrial planets.

For paleontologists, Ischigualasto is the world's richest outdoor fossil museum.

Ischigualasto also has an area called the Bowling Field, a wide and flat land, with hundreds of "balls" of earth of size, roundness and surprisingly smooth. For paleontologists, Ischigualasto is the world's richest outdoor fossil museum.

Here, hundreds of perfect specimens of dinosaurs, mammals, ferns, bandits, and many other ancient flora and fauna are found. Among these, there are many of the highest dinosaur fossils ever discovered to this day.
