Pampa de Achala is the name given to a vast region that lies at the heart of the Sierras de Córdoba located within Sierras Pampeanas, and located in central-northwest of Argentina. It is a rugged area with little vegetation, which is over 1,500 m and has singularities green biological, terrain e watershed. The region is protected by provincial law,〔http://www.secretariadeambiente.cba.gov.ar/PDF/LEGISLACIONES/%C1reas%20Protegidas,%20Bosques%20y%20Forestaci%F3n/%C1reas%20Protegidas/Decreto%20361Achala.pdf〕 and that this region basin is ''head'' of the vast majority of streams that run through the Córdoba. ==Origin of the name== The name for the area comes from the Quechua language, and apparently refers to the original inhabitants of the region, the comechingones. There is no concrete data concerning the origin of the name, merely hypotheses. According to the dictionary of the ''Academia Mayor de la Lengua Quechua'',〔http://www.scribd.com/doc/16303906/DICCIONARIO-QUECHUA-PERU〕 ''achala'' means 'fancy dress' or 'striking costume'. Many Quechan terms contain the word ''achala''. A similar word is ''achalay'', meaning 'grooming' or 'decorating.' According to the dictionary of Dr. González de Holguín,〔(Andean languajes (in Spanish) )〕 the word ''achala'' does not exist in that context, but one finds the similar words ''achallay'' and ''achallay ñichini'', which mean both 'to cause something' and 'self-admiration.' The word could have originated from a distortion of the original term, which was later converted into a word more agreeable to the Spanish of the area, and could refer either to the clothing historically worn by inhabitants of the region, allowing them to withstand the severity of the weather, or to the admiration the inhabitants had for this special region. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pampa de Achala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
