Geological Revelation

It is a window into the past, where the various sedimentary layers and formations accumulated over millennia become visible, resulting from natural processes of deposition and transformation.

Close observation of the rocks and their structures allows for an understanding of the phenomena that have shaped the territory, from the formation of sedimentary basins to the action of tectonic forces. The textures, colors, and patterns present in this outcrop tell a silent narrative of the region's geological evolution.

Surrounded by the characteristic vegetation of this green space, the site invites reflection on the scale of geological time in contrast to the plant life that surrounds it, providing an experience of deep connection with nature.

It is a point in the park where quietude allies itself with the grandeur of the rocky formation, allowing visitors intimate contact with the landscape's geological dimension. The serene environment and natural setting make it a conducive place to observe and appreciate the intrinsic relationship between the earth and its environment.
