About San Juan

Another magnificent place in San Juan is Pampa El Leoncito or Barreal Blanco, located in the locality of Barreal in Calingasta. This destination consists of a plain of 12 kilometres long and 5 kilometres wide that captivates next to the immensity of the Andes Mountain Range. The area is a mixture of flat landscapes between sierras, Puna plains, mountain ridges and small oasis at high altitude. And also, there is the CASLEO (Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito), an astronomical observatory of the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba and the Universidad Nacional de San Juan.
