• SANTA ROSA, THE CAPITAL
This city still conserves part of the estancia "La Malvina" which can be seen in the recreational centre Don Tomás, a park of 350ha with a large lake.
On the outskirts of the city are woods of calden trees - a large, sturdy tree with a bell-shaped crown, the provincial tree. |

• PARQUE LURO, ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST PARKS
Red deer are bred in a semi-wild state in this animal park of 7,500ha. European species like the wild boar and pheasant have been introduced here. There is also a mini zoo with autochthonous and exotic species. On its salt flat, frequently converted into a lagoon by the rains, you can see a colony of pink flamingoes and hundred-year-old calden trees. |

• PARQUE NACIONAL LIHUÉL CALEL: "SIERRA OF LIFE" IN RANQUEL LANGUAGE
The valleys of this ancient sierra are home to species like the puma, guanaco, fox, vizcacha and a variety of birds. It is a landscape of salmon-pink rocks dotted with yellow-flowering cacti. Following the low-lying fields you can see cave-paintings on the over-hanging rocks, drawn by the first inhabitants of these lands.
• Other places of interest
Las Salinas de Calfucurá, these salt flats are inhabited by minute crustaceans.
