VALLE DE PEDERNAL, SAN JUAN
The Pedernal Valley is a mystical, virgin site in the province of San Juan, in the West of Argentina. Classified as Region III under the Winkler Index, it is an area uniquely characterised by its cold, dry, temperate climate which, combined with its average temperature of 17.2° C from October to April and average annual rainfall of 230 mm, turns Pedernal into a predominantly sunny site all year-round. It is an area of extreme features that has begun getting international attention and recognition on the grounds of its astonishing potential.
