Bosque Petrificado Sarmiento

TIME : 2016/2/19 14:19:40

Fallen giants are scattered in a pale sandstone landscape at this petrified forest, 30km southeast of Sarmiento. From the visitor center, a trail leads through ethereal grounds with the appearance of a lumberyard gone mad: ‘wood’ chips cover the ground and huge petrified logs, up to 100m in length and 1m wide, are strewn about. The most impressive area of the park has a handful of large trunks set against the red and orange striated bluffs.
