Pampa del Tamarugal National Reserve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pampa del Tamarugal National Reserve is a nature reserve of Chile located in the Pampa del Tamarugal, some 70 Km. east of Iquique. The reserve consists of three separate sectors: Zapiga, Bosque Nativo de La Tirana, and Pintados. The major highlights are the forests of the genus Prosopis (primarily Prosopis tamarugo), found in the middle of a rainless desert, and the Pintados geoglyphs.
The sectors of Zapiga and Pintados are crossed by the Pan-American Highway.
