About this book

Language: Spanish

The slopes of the San Javier mountain range, located in the province of Tucumán, Argentina, are a mosaic of thousands of hectares of forests, bushes and grasslands. In these forests, huge trees dominate, but dozens of vines climb up and fight them to reach the sun. At the same time, countless air carnations and orchids climb on the branches and take advantage of the fog of the yungas to live without the need for soil. In the dark and cool of the jungle and ravines, ferns and mosses thrive. Dozens of mushrooms take advantage of the food offered by the branches and trunks. This mass of silent life, green and brown, moves with the songs and noises of hundreds of species of birds and many more species of insects and spiders. In the darkness of the night especially, wild pigs, corzuelas, ocelots and several others move in the mountains.

Thousands of people live at the foot of the mountains and nearby, in Yerba Buena, Tafí Viejo, Lules and San Pablo. In total, there are almost a million Tucumans who live in Gran San Miguel de Tucumán. This guide, which only includes the most common plants and animals, has been designed so that these inhabitants and others who come from further away can better understand and enjoy the San Javier mountain range.

Summary in Spanish:
Las laderas de la sierra de San Javier son un mosaico de miles de hectáreas de bosques, arbustales y pastizales. En esos bosques dominan árboles enormes, pero decenas de enredaderas, suben y les pelean por llegar al sol. Al mismo tiempo innumerables claveles del aire y orquídeas se encaraman en las ramas y aprovechan la niebla de las yungas para vivir sin necesidad de suelo. En la oscuridad y fresco de la selva y las quebradas prosperan helechos y musgos. Decenas de hongos aprovechan el alimento que les ofrecen las ramas y troncos caldos. Entre este montón de vida quieta, verde y marrón, se mueven con cantos y ruidos cientos de especies de pájaros y muchas más especies de insectos y arañas. En la oscuridad de la noche especialmente, en la sierra se mueven chanchos del monte, corzuelas, ocelotes y varios otros.

Al pie de la sierra y en sus cercanías viven miles de personas, en Yerba Buena, Tafí Viejo, Lules y San Pablo. En total son casi un millón los tucumanos que habitan el Gran San Miguel de Tucumán. Esta guía, que sólo incluye las plantas y animales más comunes, ha sido pensada para que estos habitantes y otros que vengan de más lejos, conozcan y disfruten mejor la sierra de San Javier.
