Ischigualasto is a geological formation and a natural park associated with it in the
province of
San Juan, north-western
Argentina, near the border with
Chile. The Ischigualasto Provincial Park is located in the north-east of the province, and its northern border is the
Talampaya National Park, in
La Rioja, both of which belong to the same geological formation and were named
UNESCOWorld Heritage Sites in
2000. It has an area of 603.7 km2 (233 sq mi), most of them within the
Valle Fértil Department, with a minor part in the
Jachal Department of San Juan, at an
altitude of about 1,300 m (4,265 ft)
above mean sea level. The park is part of the western border of the Pampean Hills, and it features typical desert vegetation (
bushes,
cacti and some trees) which covers between 10 and 20% of the area. The
climate is very dry, with
rainfall mostly during the summer, and
temperature extremes (minimum -10 °C, maximum 45 °C). (Full article...)

Let us remember to our people that the fatherland is not only the land. We had the land three centuries ago, and we only have fatherland since 1810. The fatherland is freedom, is the order, wealth, civilization organized in the native ground under its teaching and in its name.
