Sierras de Ambargasta, Mountain range in Santiago del Estero, Argentina.

The Ambargasta Mountains extend across central-northern Argentina, reaching heights of 500 meters above sea level in a region of vast loessic plains.

The original inhabitants of these mountains were sedentary Native Americans, including Tonocotes in the north and Sanavirones in the south, preceding Spanish colonization.

The Multiple Use Provincial Reserve of Sierras de Ambargasta, established in 1997, represents local efforts to preserve natural heritage despite cadastral complications.

The mountains experience a continental subtropical climate with a dry season from May to October and a wet season between November and April.

The geological composition includes pink granitoids with low biotite content, formed during a magmatic arc in the Lower Paleozoic period.
