Jaramillo
In Argentine Patagonia, the charm of a city born as a railway station is waiting for you.
There are trains that pass by cities, and there are cities born where trains pass. Come to Jaramillo and discover its history. Roam around its streets and watch its typical constructions: its wood and tinplate buildings, its houses built in stone over a century ago, its refurbished train station, now turned into a museum. Find the traces of the Patagonian strikes of 1920 and 1921.
Would you like to visit an old post and telegraph office? Find it at the Mazaredo bay. Would you like to know what these lands were like 150 million years ago? Explore the Bosques Petrificados [Petrified Forest] National Park, where you will find a landscape covered by the lava and ashes from a volcano at the beginning of the Cretaceous period. Walk in the age-old araucaria forest born at that same spot. Live it all in the province of Santa Cruz.
