Sierra de la Ventana, Mountain range in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
The Sierras de Ventania extends 195 kilometers through the Pampas ecosystem, featuring peaks that reach 1,239 meters at Cerro Tres Picos.
Charles Darwin documented his exploration of these mountains during his journey aboard the Beagle, contributing to natural history research in South America.
The mountain range contains several small towns, including Sierra de la Ventana, which developed around a railway station established in 1908.
The Parque Provincial Ernesto Tornquist provides access to hiking trails through two entry points along Route 76 in the mountain range.
La Ventana peak contains a natural rock formation with an opening measuring 9 meters wide and 11 meters high, leading to its designation as a Natural Monument.

Argentina extends across multiple climate zones and contains numerous geological formations. The country encompasses high mountain ranges in the Andes, salt flats in the northwest, rock formations in Patagonia, and extensive grasslands. These areas display the region's geological history and the adaptation of human settlements to different environments. The sites include volcanic craters, thermal springs, canyons, and historic villages. Many of these locations lie away from main routes and require several hours of travel. The regions document pre-Columbian cultures, colonial history, and traditional ways of life that continue today.
