THE EXPRESSION FROM THE PUNA OF CATAMARQUE

History

In Catamarca there are some of the highest mountains in the world. In fact, if we exclude the Himalayan mountains, on the Asian continent, the Catamarca portion of the Andes has the highest set of heights on the planet.

An intricate labyrinth of valleys and pockets hidden between mountain ranges of varied condition, extension and geological origin, defines this large and remote region of Argentina, exclusive owner of a name as original as it is powerful, Catamarca.

Coming from the Quechua language of the ancient Incas, the word Catamarca alludes to a “fortress in the height”.

The highest altitudes in Catamarca exceed six thousand meters above sea level in the Andes mountain range. This is an abrupt, narrow and long relatively young geological formation, which emerged in the last thirty million years and runs from end to end of South America, along 7,500 kilometers.

It is the most extensive mountain system in the world and –it will surprise many- the province of Catamarca gathers the largest set of high altitudes of its entire extension and of the American continent.

They are, for the most part, old extinct volcanoes, which in their last eruptions managed to raise one more step. The imposing Ojos del Salado is not only the second highest in the Americas but also the highest volcano in the world.

Of the mountains that exceed six thousand meters in height in the Andes of South America, 42 are in Argentina and 18 in the province of Catamarca, which brings together the largest set of heights on the continent. They are the highest volcanoes in the world and 8 of the highest mountains in America.

Our Origin Anterior Siguiente 0{{current_slide_index}} 0{{total_slide_count}} San Buenaventura A little further north of its position, a transversal mountain range called San Buenaventura coincides with the Lagunas Blancas mountains, to interpose a kind of gigantic corral and contain all the VOLCANIC sand emanating to the north. 0{{current_slide_index}} 0{{total_slide_count}} Highland There is the entire floor that rises to become the "Altiplano" known as Puna. This one -begins in Catamarca- and extends over a vast space of irreducible heights - with no possible valleys - passing through Salta, Jujuy, Chile and Bolivia. It is the "Puna de Atacama" and in Catamarca it has a mandatory name. 0{{current_slide_index}} 0{{total_slide_count}} Land of volcanoes For these twenty mountains that exceed six thousand meters above sea level, we name our wines "Tierra de Volcanes". Among them is the second and third in height in America. Ojo del Salado and Pissis, which are also the two highest volcanoes in the world.
