From the dam that you will appreciate, produces electric energy for the zone. Interpretative walking, sport activities, fishing, navigation by the dam, are some of the activities that help us having a magnificent day living the nature fully.On the travel, we will know the only petrified forest on the zone, from where the magnificent nature that exist in a very few places in the world, can be valued. Petrification is not a common process of the nature, but a deeply combination of physical and chemical that results in the substitution of organic matter of living beings by siliceous molecules. You can appreciate the result of those changes, on living beings, that required millions of years and special circumstances, which are a rarity on the world.
