From San Juan: Talampaya National Park

About this experience

The tour begins on Route 40 heading north of the province, crossing the San Juan River. Next to the Villicúm hill we will reach the new tourist route 150, along which we will continue until we reach the border between La Rioja and San Juan, and along route 76 to the Talampaya National Park. There the passenger can choose the desired circuit (Circuit Not included, to be paid at destination), we suggest the Internal Circuit No 01 where they travel through the entire main Canyon with its 4 stations: Petroglyphs, Botanical Garden, Gothic Cathedral and El Monje, walk through the fundamental attractions of the Canyon, in which we will delve into the culture, characteristics and curiosities of ancient peoples. In addition, we will learn about the main geological formations that characterize the Canyon, sculptures shaped by natural forces over millions of years. Return to the city of San Juan.
