Photo: The extensive Pampa Tololo or Llano de la Jaula in the
vicinity of Punta de Díaz and the Los Colorados mine (Fe). Nearby
there are two historical runways:
Tololo Pampa and
Algarrobal. The plain stands out for its quantity of cactus
candelabra and large quantities of guanacos. In summer the sector
sets very high temperatures, according to its geographical location.
The altitude of the plain is about 300 meters above sea level.
