Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikivoyage or other free sources online. With a very tangible sense of history, the northwest is Argentina’s most ‘indigenous’ region, and the sights and people here show much closer links with the country’s Andean neighbors than the European image of its urban centers. There’s a definite Andean feel with traditional handicrafts, Quechua-speaking pockets, coca leaves, llamas, indigenous heritage and Inca ruins. The region’s cities were also Argentina’s first colonial settlements. Long before the Andes mountains were formed along the spine of South America, what is now called the Valley of the Moon in Argentina's northwest San Juan province was a vast depression of ancient sediments of the Triassic geological period. The fantastic rock formations caused by time and erosion marking the landscape and prompting geologists, paleontologists and visitors to marvel at the history and landscape of what is now, together with Talampaya National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This book offers information on Argentina and the Andean Northwest region.
