Chaco
Campo del Cielo is a region between Chaco and Santiago del Estero where a meteor shower hit about 4,000 years ago. As a result of that event, two of the largest meteorites in the world were found; these can be seen during the visit to the theme park located near the town of Gancedo, in Chaco.
Open to visitors all year round. The theme park has a charged entry.
Located 15 km from Gancedo is the Campo del Cielo Scientific and Educational Park, an open-air museum with an interpretation centre and guided tours that help to understand and interpret the astronomical phenomena and the cosmovision of indigenous peoples of this area. There are 300 meteorites on display.
Every June 30, the Chaco Civil Astronomy Association (ACHA) and the Chaco Tourism Institute hold theme activities: meteorite search, astronomical observation, lectures and documentaries, as well as meetings of amateur astronomers. Check the agenda of activities.
