Argentina Campo del Cielo / Sky Field
More than 6000 years ago, a meteorite shower fell in an area of about 4 km x 15 km in the area of the border between the provinces of Chaco and Santiago del Estero. The largest one found so far weighs over 30 tonnes. It is the second largest in the world. The province of Chaco has created a beautiful, large park here, the Campo del Cielo (Sky Field), and exhibited the large specimens there.
Various large cacti have been planted as decoration and are thriving. A huge public campsite with barbecue areas and barbecue ovens under trees is part of the park.
The whole park is populated by budgies that nest here. A large number of them perch in the steel struts of the roof of a large, open event hall and make a hell of a racket there with their chirping and scolding.
