La primera vez que escuché el nombre ...

La primera vez que escuché el nombre "Puente del Diablo" me imaginé precisamente eso: un puente. Pero no, el Puente del Diablo es una maravillosa caverna, un accidente geológico que en la actualidad representa un alto interés científico por el estado en el que se encuentra. Se ubica cerca de La Poma, en la provincia de Salta, al noroeste de la República Argentina. Cuenta la leyenda que venían dos paisanos arriando a su ganado desde la Cordillera de los Andes. Al llegar a este sitio, no podían pasar por falta de un puente. Acamparon allí y entre vino y vino decidieron invocar al diablo para que les hiciera un puente a cambio del alma de uno de ellos. Al día siguiente, cuando un paisano despertó, vio que se había formado un puente de roca y no encontraba a su amigo. Cruzó el puente con el ganado creyendo que a su amigo se lo había llevado el diablo, pero al cruzar se lo encontró y éste le contó que había dejado a un ternerito en su lugar, para que se lo llevara Satanás. Se fueron lo más pronto que pudieron y jamás volvieron a cruzar por ese cañadón. Para llegar, se camina un sendero donde se pueden contemplar paisajes preciosos, de rocas rojizas, vegetación desértica y arroyos que han ido erosionando la roca. Está señalado con letreros que advierten que uno está en una zona protegida, que hay que cuidar el medio ambiente.
The first time I listened to the "Devil's Bridge" name I imagined just that: a bridge. But no, the Devil's Bridge is a wonderful cave a geolgico accident which currently represents a high interest scientist for the state in which it is located. It is located near La Poma in the province of Salta, northwest of the Republic Argentina. Legend has it that two countrymen Venan herding their cattle from the Andes. At this site, do not prune pass for lack of a bridge. They camped all between wine and wine and decided to invoke the devil to make them a bridge in exchange for the soul of one of them. The next day, when a plainclothes awoke, she saw that it had formed a rock bridge and could not find his friend. Cross the bridge with cattle believing that his friend had taken the devil, but found him across it and cont ste had left him a calf instead take him to Satan. Ms soon as they could and jams recrossed by that caadn left. To get there, a path where you can admire beautiful landscapes, red rocks, vegetation and streams desrtica have eroded the rock walk. Est sealado with signs that warn that one o'clock ET in a protected area, you need to protect the environment.
