My Trip to Talampaya and The Moon Valley<\/h2>\n

Hi! Today I am going to tell you about this amazing region of northern Argentina, in the provinces of San Juan and La Rioja.<\/p>\n

I visited them this way for instance, by National holidays of August 17th (Day of commemoration of the death of Jos\u00e9 de San Mart\u00edn, an Argentine hero)<\/p>\n

This post is perfect for passionate about Paleontology, or, if you haven\u2019t heard about the famous \u201cDinosaurs Route\u201d, it might interest you!<\/p>\n

This circuit begins in La Rioja province, in the North, and finalizes in Santa Cruz, in Patagonia, but today, we\u2019ll focus on the Cuyo region: La Rioja and San Juan provinces, where you will note that, despite they are neighbors, Talampaya and Ischigualasto Parks have many differences.<\/p>\n

My Trip Tip<\/strong>
\nDuring the same trip you can visit both parks, and 2 nights are enough.<\/p>\n

How to get there. A Self Drive would be great!
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Of course you can get there by air and this region has good connectivity. You can take a domestic flight from Buenos Aires to La Rioja or San Juan, and we\u2019ll be happy to help you booking accommodation, transfers and excursions!<\/p>\n

The ideal is on a self-drive, so that you can also visit other attractions in the area, such as: the Difunta Correa Sanctuary, Potrerillos Dam, El Leoncito National Park, Cuesta del Viento Dam. You can combine it with Mendoza as well, the wine area, pick up the car there and drive around the region.<\/p>\n

Where to stay<\/h3>\n

There are 2 possibilities to visit these parks:<\/p>\n
