Travel Back to the Origins of the Earth
Discover one of the most amazing landscapes in Argentina and travel back to prehistoric times as you walk among petroglyphs and dinosaur fossils.
In Ischigualasto, also known as Valle de la Luna, a moon-like terrain, rocks sculpted by the action of wind, water and sunlight and a hill with massive walls await you. In Talampaya, its 150-metre-tall walls show layers that date back 250 million years.
Both parks offer guided tours of different circuits, bicycle touring, trekking and bird watching.
Where: in Ischigualasto Provincial Park (San Juan) and Talampaya National Park (La Rioja).
When: all year round.
