Bajo De Veliz San Luis
Argentina

Bajo de Véliz

El bajo es una profunda y angosta depresión de 12 km de largo, recorrida de sur a norte por el arroyo Cautana, a escasos 35 km de Santa Rosa del Conlara, en el sector noroeste de la Sierra de San Luis.
Partiendo desde Merlo por la Ruta Provincial Nº5 hacia el oeste hasta Santa Rosa del Conlara, a partir de allí unos kilómetros más y se llega a el Duraznito.
Aquí por Ruta Provincial Nº43 -de tierra- hace falta recorrer 15 Km más, el camino corre en plena sierra, el paisaje ya no se mira, uno es parte de la belleza.
Al llegar a la Quebrada del Bonete comienza un pronunciado descenso de 4 Km que sedemboca en el extremo sur del Bajo. Los farallones cubiertos de vegetación, el arroyo rumoroso en el centro, un silencio que casi no interrumpen los escasos pobladores y estamos en la cantera de las famosas "pizarras de San Luis". 
El bajo formaba parte del continente Gondwana, constituido por lo que hoy está separado en Africa, una parte de América del Sur, la Antártida, Australia y la India. En el se encuentran fósiles de animales y plantas hoy desaparecidas o existentes en otras latitudes.
Este yacimiento paleontológico es una angosta y alargada depresión en sentido norte-sur de 12 Km. de largo y 1 Km. de ancho, enclavado en el borde nororiental de las Sierras de San Luis.
Sus particularidades climáticas: abundante vegetación, fauna autóctona, arroyos de aguas permanentes y escarpados bordes serranos le confieren, al Bajo Véliz, un marco particular.
Hace más de 320 millones de años, movimientos internos de la tierra provocaron la fracturación de la Sierra de San Luis, generando esta depresión, que fue seguidamente rellenada por los desechos provenientes de la erosión de las rocas sedimentarias, areniscas y limos, quedando sepultada la flora y fauna existente en el Período Carbonífero de la Era Paleozoica.

Mehr über Argentina

Argentina didn't get to be the second-largest country in South America overnight. Archaeological remains found here date to some 9,000 years BC, left by the ancient Mesoamerican civilization. Early inhabitants were nomads and hunters who followed prehistoric horses and llamas. By the year 1480 AD the Incan empire had stretched to reach northern Argentina and the stage was set for contact.The Europeans came in 1516 with Spanish explorer Juan Diaz do Solis, who claimed the area for Spain and tried to export a river of silver back to Europe. Wealth grew along with the cattle industry and after Napoleon conquered Spain, Argentina declared its independence and set up their own government. That was 1810 AD.Argentina stayed neutral in WWI and for most of WWII, declaring war on the Axis powers only in 1945. Following the war, the country entered into a long chain of military dictatorships with only brief forays into constitutional government. The current president is Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who's been in office since December 2007.Argentina is known for many things but the top of the list belongs to only two -- steak and the tango. Cattle graze on the abundant grasslands and produce some of the best beef in the world.  The climate is well-suited for vineyards as well, and Argentina's wines make a fine companion to their steak.As for the tango, it has recently exploded to become a world famous dance with hotspots in every major city on the planet. It started in Buenos Aires in the middle of the nineteenth century, as the city was filling up with a mixture of European immigrants and porteños, people who were born in the port city. They melded their cultures of rhythm and harmony and came up with the tango, which has been described as the ultimate evolution of partnered dancing. And it's a great way to burn off your steak stupor. Food coma begone!Text by Steve Smith.
