The Jaramillo petrified Forest (National Monument to the Petrified Forests), which is located 310km away from Comodoro Rivadavia, is the oldest wood and has the biggest fossil trees in the world.
The seaside village Rada Tilly is located 14 km south of Comodoro Rivadavia on the Atlantic coast. It was born as a summer holiday village but at the present time is continuously inhabited.
In this city the pilgrimages to the Lady of Lourdes sanctuary, which is 12km away, are carried out periodically. The city is also the permanent venue of the “Shark Fishing” National Competition.
You can see in the field the standing fossil trees in the exactly same place where they were fossilized for over more than 90 million years ago.
