Ischigualasto Provincial Park

Ischigualasto Provincial Park, located in Argentina, is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique rock formations and fossils that date back to the Triassic period, about 230 million years ago. It is often referred to as the "Valley of the Moon" due to its extraordinary lunar-like landscape. The park is significant for paleontological studies, as it has yielded some of the earliest dinosaur fossils. It plays a crucial role in understanding the evolution of dinosaurs and early ecosystems, making it an important site for both scientists and visitors interested in natural history and geology.
