A trunk (this one was about 1.50m diameter) and million of fragments, located at same place as my previous photo:

There are two woods in same region...
They are called "wood", coz their trees weren`t dragged along by rivers or glaciers, as it happened at other places in the world.. so, they have unique characteristics.
At the beginning of the Tertiary Era , the Andes Range arose and thus, prevented the Pacific ocean`s humidity from passing, producing eruptions. The ash and lava`s deposits spread allowing a slow process of transformation of these trunks into stone.. it is hard to imagine that this arid place was a fertile region, with woods and lagoons, inhabited by a varied fauna, which rests were found fossilized, as well.
I found this site in English, not good photos, but it has more information. They write 75 millions years old, the park guard there said 65 million.. I think in such quantity, numbers loose their accurate importance... =)

Very good photo of very powerful place - seems that time is stopped here.

And when I look to it I realize, that I`m very happy to live now, not 75 million years ago улыбаюсь

Great panorama, I love the fantastic colours and the unreal atmosphere.. It seems an other world, an other planet... An harmonious desert. And I like a lot the explanations!!!
