Inti Huasi, Lava dome in Coronel Pringles Department, Argentina.

The volcanic formation rises from the central area of San Luis mountains, presenting characteristic patterns of andesitic rock composition and geological structures.

Archaeological investigations at Inti Huasi began in 1875 when German geologist Luis Brackebusch conducted initial studies of the geological formations.

The name translates from Quechua language as House of the Sun, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the San Luis region.

Located 20 kilometers from La Carolina and 100 kilometers from San Luis city, the site requires specific arrangements for geological research visits.

The surrounding terrain contains adaptable plant species that thrive in volcanic soil conditions, creating a specialized environmental zone.
