El Leoncito National Park

El Leoncito National Park is a federal protected area in the Calingasta Department of San Juan Province, Argentina, established in September 2002. The park encompasses approximately 89,706 hectares of high-altitude Andean terrain on the western slopes of the Sierra del Tontal, representing one of the most significant protected areas in Argentina's Cuyo region. The park protects a representative sample of two distinct biogeographic provinces: the Central Andean Puna and the Southern Andean steppe, both in a relatively good state of conservation. What makes El Leoncito particularly distinctive is its combination of ecological significance, archaeological heritage, and its status as one of the world's premier locations for astronomical research due to exceptionally clear skies and minimal atmospheric pollution.
