Visit a
Volcano |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This impressive place is located
in the great Sonoran Desert, 35 miles north of
Puerto Penasco, whose dunes extend toward the
State of Arizona. "The Pinacate" is a
precious jewel which presently is an ecological
reserve. This majestic area comprises mountains
and volcanoes, dunes and washes, and seasonal
lands which survive just on scarcely any water.
Furthermore, this area is rich in archaeological
findings of the so-called San Dieguito culture
that inhabited the region approximately 12
thousand years ago. Contrary to what could be
thought, there is a great wealth of wild animal
and plant species at "El Pinacate",
despite that rainfall is scarce and
unpredictible. Different types of cacti and other
plants dominate the landscape, in which animals
live hidden under the sand dunes and the soil.
Therefore, once you have visited this spot, you
will always want to come back and why not? ...
spend several nights together with the
inhabitants of a unique place in Mexico. It is
worthwhile mentioning that American astronauts
visited the "Pinacate" before going to
the Moon with the purpose of getting acquainted
with situations similar to those they could
encounter on Earth's satellite, since the
"Pinacate's" landscapes have a
tremendous resemblance to those of the Moon. Guide information can be
obtained through the visitor's center, or at the
"What To Do" office, located at the end
of Calle 13, in front of the Penasco Del Sol
Hotel. For pictures and information on full
service guided tours to the Reserve, go to the Seafari Tours website, or call
them locally at (602) 383-8175.
