Las Parinas
Las Parinas is a geological and cultural region in northwestern Argentina, consisting of unique volcanic geomorphology[1] as well as a long human settlement history. Today the region is an important center of animal husbandry, where primarily llama and sheep are raised for their wool to be used as textile products.[2] The region has been submitted by its government to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List for its purported universal natural and cultural value.
