Talampaya National Park Trip

Pickup from your hotel in San Juan is at 7 am. We will head north following National Route 150, traversing the region of La Rioja en route to Talampaya National Park.

Upon arrival at this protected area, we will board an off-road truck for an exciting tour through the National Park, which includes exploring the Talampaya canyons. Prepare your camera for the spectacular landscapes.

During the truck tour, we will view the sandstone walls and learn about the archaeological and paleontological remains discovered in the area throughout the 20th century as we travel through the plains between the canyons.

You will also see the unique geological formations of Talampaya, such as the Friar, Wizard King, Cathedral, Chess Board, Needles, Manger, and Castle, shaped by thousands of years of natural elements.

After spending three and a half hours at Talampaya, we will return to the vehicle and stop at a nearby restaurant for one hour to eat before the return journey. We will arrive back at your hotel in San Juan by 9 pm.
