EXCEPTIONAL VIRGIN FRACTION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CULTIVATIONS UNDER WATERING LIKE OLOVE GROVES, VINE AND LATELY IN THE AREA THEY HAVE AVANCED WITH JATROPHE STUDIES.
It is located in a privileged area of expansion of watering projects with 7 km of at both sides of the asphalted route Nº 510 and at only one hour from the capital of the province, towards theeast of the same one.
Its location is also convenient because it is located over the tourist route that crry to the Natural park Ischiguslasto, humanity's natural patrimony at only 130 km of distance from the field, known by all the planet as VALLE DE LA LUNA (VALLEY OF THE MOON).
The route Nº 510 joins with route Nº 141 (Toward La Rioja) being part of the biocean corridor that will join Porto Alegre in Brazil with Port of the Serene and Coquimbo in Chile through the step of ´´Agua Negra´´ (Balck water)
The principal activity historically developed by the inhabitants of the area is based on the male goat and cróele bovines breeding, because this animal count with hte necessary wildness to support the environmental conditions that characterized the area, in which the climate is semiarid/arid.
The field also counts with quarries of quartz located in the west limit of the same one, whch are located in the exploitation.
The soil is soft and franc sandy in the low area, that is to say towards the east of the route Nº 510, towards the west it is more stony, with several gulches produced by the grow and slope of the water of the rain..
The field in some areas is plain with not very marked slopes toward the east (toward the provincial limit). The natural vegetation is typical of the area and it is good for cattle raising.
For cultivations the variety is good (olive groves, vines pistachio), depending on the watering capacity that one can obtain with underground extraction (between 20 and 60 meters depth) with flows of 150000 liters hour.
The rain register of the last 5 years of the area is 200 mm. annuals.
REGIONAL INFORMATION
CLIMATE: It is characterized to be semi-arid, with moderate temperatures. It possesses the highest values of precipitations of all the province and the heliofanía in summer it is very intense.

* Study of Soil - Title: Study of Soil Department of Valle Fertil - Matter: Agricultural-cattleman Interes - Year 1989 - Nº 453-472/89 - Part: Conclution and summary. Compared with information of the Regional Center of Underground Waters.
FAUNA: It is very varied. The gump is the specimen that you can appreciate easily, there are also hares from patagonia, gray fox, puma, vizcachas, quirquinchos and mouse of paintbrush line. The birds presents in this place are: condor, jotes, eaglets, caranchos, ñandúes, martinetas and chuñas, migratory birds as heron, larks, etc.; the amphibians are scarce.
FLORA: It is possible to appreciate different types of cardones (some of great height) and of locusts, jarillas, retamas, chañares, pitches, breas, chilca, cortadera, mistletoe, etc.
MOUNTAINS OF VALLE FERTIL
The Landscape that frames the river of the Valley is captivating, with abundant vegetation and imposing birds and fauna (carpenters, parrots, black thrushes, etc.) and crystalline waters of slopes. It is an ideal area to carry out different outdoors activities (Walks, voyages in 4 x 4, rides, etc.
Located in the department of Valle Fertil, it is furrowed by rills, threads of water and natural water supplies, besides the quality of underground water (Between 20 and 60 mts depth) that allows the development of cultivations under watering like olive trees, fine grapes, fruit-bearing, forage plants oleaginous, leguminous, vegetables, grains and forest plantations adapted to this climate. It is also capable for cattleman production taking advantage of the natural pastures with sheep livestock, swinishes, bovines and goat livestock.
The possibility of management of water is varied, it can be through water reserves with constructions of small dams, typical of the area or through pumpings with mills taking advantage of the climate caracterized for the presence of breeze.
It is an area of abundant wild fauna standing out the good quantity of gumps observed.
The vegetation is typical of mountain with 70% of and 30 % of mount in the valley constituted of species like locusts, chañares, soft quebrachos and natural pastures.
The rain register of the area is about 300 / 400 mm annuals.
WE CONSIDER IT AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY OF INVESTMENT IN VIRGIN FIELD TO CARRY OUT IMPROVEMENTS AND TO INCREASE VALUE.
IMPROVEMENTS
2 Mills with perforations of 40 to 60 meters depth which count with an extraction of water capacity of 1.500 Lts/hour.
POTENTIALITY
Without a doubt the Province of San Juan presents a very wide panorama with regard to development. For those who have the possibility of being part of this great growth we make them well-known the big wealths and potentials of this area.
There are already studies of feasibility for the construction of the border step in Aguas Negras (mountain range of the Andes) to communicate with the republic of Chile and to obtain an exit to the pacific ocean.
Apart from the projects, San Juan presents facts very well marked, such as the inclemencies of its desert that offers the ideal mark for the elaboration of one of the best sirah wine in the world.
Very high temperatures and a low humidity accompanied by a scarce level of annual precipitations, conform the ideal microclimate for the upbringing of the syrah which will produce intense wines.
Suggestive and interesting for its enormous economic potential, exceptional climate, its natural marvels, its snowy picks, its fish wealth, its rich indigenous past and the best technology at the service of the astronomy world, transform it into a dream place. A Province so complete, without any doubt is the objectif of the great world investment.
