If you have travelled along the long and desolate Ruta del Desierto, you will feel gratified to arrive at this little village, Colonia de Mayo, that offers hospitality to the visitor after the journey. The dam over Río Colorado joins the provinces of La Pampa and Río Negro, and shows a strong change between the desert and salt marshes in the south of the province, and the green incipient plantations produced by man´s effort and laboriosity. The rumour of the river and the irrigation ditches will welcome you to this place that is a gateway to a different landscape that you will discover along your route to Patagonia.
