Sierras de Sumampa

The Sierras de Sumampa form a mountain range in Santiago del Estero Province featuring granite formations and many streams. Elevations reach around 600 meters, creating a diverse landscape across the terrain.

Before Spanish colonization, the Sanavirones indigenous people inhabited the mountain range. They established agricultural settlements distributed throughout the region.

The mountains have long served as a place for artistic expression. Researchers have documented the highest concentration of rock art in the entire province within these peaks.

Access is available via Provincial Route 15 from Villa Ojo de Agua, which leads onto dirt roads. These roads connect various areas throughout the mountain range.

Deep ravines within the mountains shelter lush vegetation from the intense heat of surrounding plains. These protected areas create their own distinct climate zones with separate plant communities.
