About 600km from Buenos Aires – and a long way from pretty much anywhere else – Santa Rosa is unlikely to be of interest unless you find yourself traveling overland, in which case it’s a convenient stopping point and transport hub. While Santa Rosa itself offers scant charms, it serves as a base for exploring Parque Nacional Lihué Calel, an isolated but pretty park that’s home to a surprising assortment of vegetation and wildlife.
The area’s native people were displaced, and many thousands killed, during General Roca’s ‘Conquest of the Desert’ in 1879, but La Pampa is still home to the Ranquel people, who have regained some of their traditional lands and maintain their language and culture.
