The field of pumice stone is a natural wonder well hidden. A greater volcanic eruption of the Blanco volcano produced this sediment of pyroclastic flows eroded by the winds and climate of the area

Photography Tips

The best time for photographs is sunrise or blue hour. Later the sun is very intense and the contrasts too strong. In my case, the rocks facing east, the sunrise was the best option.

Travel Information

The approach needs a 4x4 vehicle. They go through deep sand fields. With these vehicles you get to the foot of the West side (better at sunset). In my case, on the east side, vehicles are not allowed and I needed 2 hours of walking.

Hola Marcelo, soy de Santa fe. Cual es la mejor época para Catamarca? y tenes que hacer una excursiòn para llegar ahì?

Marcelo Aguilar 20.03.2020

Hola Marcelo. Esta zona es bastante parecida en cualquier época del año ya que no hay vegetación que puede cambiar el aspecto del paisaje.Obviamente el invierno es a evitar ya que puede haber nieve y frío. El verano puede ser sofocante. Yo la visité en Avril-Mayo. Hay que ir en 4x4 ya que hay bancos de arena para llegar. El punto de salida es Antofagasta de la Sierra. Desde allí salen excursiones . El problema es que ninguna excursión va a llevarte a la salida del sol que es cuando yo tomé esta foto. Yo alquilé un vehículo y dormí en los alrededores.
