About Bosques Petrificados de Jaramillo National Park
The Jaramillo Petrified Forest National Park is a protected area of petrified forest located in the Deseado Department, in the northeast of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Formerly part of the site was a natural monument, established in 1954 and known as the Petrified Forest Natural Monument, covering about 13,700 hectares (34,000 acres). This area has remnants of a forest preserved in stone, that had been growing on the site before the upthrust of the Andes some 150 million years ago.
