Monumento Natural Angastaco - Quebrada de las Flechas

The most impressive area on this road is the one crossing the Monumento Natural Angastaco where the Quebrada de las Flechas (canyon of the arrows) is located. The name is due to the resemblance of the rock formations to arrows pointing toward the sky.
