El Museo de Ciencias Naturales Miguel Lillo es un tesoro escondido. Y esto es casi literal ya que el museo se encuentra adentro del edificio de la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales. Es un lugar increíble! Cuenta con exposiciones de Botánica, Zoología y Geología.
El museo está organizado en varias salas y tiene muestras permanentes y temporarias.
Dentro del sitio donde se encuentra emplazado el museo, también se puede visitar el solar donde nació Miguel Lillo y además su tumba! Hay otras rarezas, como un árbol cuyo tronco impide el paso por su gran tamaño.
Es un lugar adecuado para visitas con niños.
No se permite tomar fotografías.
En la página web del museo se pueden consultar los horarios y días en que está abierto como así también el precio de la entrada, que es muy económico.

The scenery from Salta to south of Cafayate is awesome. The rock formation with different hues are fascinating. It is like pleated colorful silk unfold as we approach...green, light green, yellow, brown, red..contrast with clear deep blue sky. Majestic!
Walking up high on the Ruins de Quilmes is awesome. I admire how brave Inca were to protect lands from invaders centuries ago.
Breakfast and lunch picnic while stay close to the beautiful nature is extraordinary.
The flowers, fauna, cactus, orchid in the arid land are worth exploring

Hermosa Basílica, ubicada en pleno centro de la ciudad de Tucumán, sobre la 24 de septiembre. Se destaca principalmente la imagen de la Virgen de la Merced con el bastón de mando de Belgrano. Cuidada y bien mantenida, merece ser visitada.

It never hurts to learn a little about history and that's exactly what you can get during a short visit at this museum. The creation of Argentina is well presented in the exact place where it happened. Texts are in Spanish only but quite understandable with a basic command and the building itself is very nice. Not a must but pleasant nevertheless.

The drive up and surrounding areas are just breathtaking. A great chance to really unwind and enjoy the scenery. The museum underneath the statue has English information with the exhibits. As you go around the area there are many stalls that you can buy unique souvenirs from - which was a highlight for us.

Este enero 2018 lo recorrimos viniendo desde Amaicha a Tafi del Valle con una neblina tupida que solo permitía ver a 5 km.de distancia no obstante lo disfrutamos ya que ese camino lo hemos hecho en muchas oportunidades. Esta vez le agregamos la tensión y misterio que supone esa inclemencia del tiempo y que amerita cuando el camino es sinuoso, de gran altura y muy transitado. PERO VALE LA PENA ESTAS AVENTURAS!!

In this times of revalorization of the Indigenous Art (meaning art from the original inhabitants of the Americas) this is a great place to visit.
It is a cultural reference about the local people. But it is also an artistic reference that no-one should skip.
The creator of the museum and principal artist is Mr. Héctor Cruz. As a native, he was sucessful to reflect the cultural heritage of his ancestors. He is a scuplter, principally, as well as painter. He composed from scratch, the mininful sculptures and art of the museum. He was autodidact, lernt by doing, and it seems, he was born with great talent.
In his museum you can live, see and understand the memories of rituals to honour the earth, the Gods and milenary mistic, the geology of the region, the nature of the region and how local native indigenous used to live at home and in community.
This museum is the reflex of the 35 years work of this man, who wants us to understand and value in the present the cultures that give the spirit to this land.
I clasify this for friends, but keep in mind, that you'll only enjoy this if you open your mind and heart to the forgoten and and now alive past heritage, so it can be enjoyed in any situation when this condition is complied.
