Parque Nacional El Leoncito

Reviewed By wojtekn0 - Bardufoss, Norway

It is said that it can be cloudy during daytime but in the evening... magic hand take clouds of the sky. It is true! and due to that in Leoncito there is more than 300 clear nights in the year. You can see telescopes and if you are lucky as we were you will listen to the best explanation of how the observatory works and what it is all about - thanks to Cachi and Pepe!!!

Do not miss the opportunity to visit this stunning park. If you have your own car just turn up at the entrance, pay your fee and join a convoy of vehicles on a 40 Km drive over reasonable tracks.
