They are simply flat valleys. Check out the following link to the site where I found the definition of bolsones.

Otra palabra que se usa en textos geologícos en inglés para un tipo de formación por el estilo y que se usa además de\" flat valleys\" y \"basin\" es \"graven\" (viene del alemán ).

| basins
Explanation:
Vaya si te entiendo, yo también soy Argentina, y estuve en La Rioja, sé a qué te referís. Yo pondría Basins, como sinónimo de cuencas... de todos modos, te sugiero que entres a la página de la secretaría de turismo de La Rioja, que supuestamente tiene que estar también en inglés, a ver qué te tira... yo lo hice con una traducción para Tierra del Fuego... Ayyy... nuestro bellísimo país, que tiene de todo y nos complica a los traductores!!!!!! SALUDOS, COMPATRIOTA!!
