PETRIFIED FOREST JOSÉ ORMACHEA
The José Ormachea Petrified Forest, located at approximately 40 kilometers south of the town of Sarmiento, Chubut, is a large reserve of petrified wood found in its natural state.
It is a 75 million year old forest originated during the Paleozoic Era. As a Nature Reserve today, its petrified trees constitute an interesting landscape of singular beauty that immerses those who contemplate it for the first time, into a world that is between magical and surreal.
