A first look at Jaramillo Petrified Forest National Park

Jaramillo Petrified Forest National Park (officially Parque Nacional Bosques Petroficados de Jaramillo) is a protected natural area in the Patagonia region of Argentina. The park protects an area of petrified forests, created at the beginning of the cretaceous period when volcanic eruptions covered dense forests in layers of lava and ash, turning the trees to stone.
