Day 1: Reception at the San Juan airport or bus terminal. (Arrival before 08:30 AM) Transfer to Valle Fértil. Visit to Ischigualasto Provincial Natural Park, popularly known as the Valley of the Moon. Declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, this mystical territory will transport you 250 million years into the past through a driving circuit that reveals a purely lunar-like landscape, guarded by imposing clay and sandstone formations sculpted by erosion, such as El Hongo (The Mushroom), El Submarino (The Submarine), and La Cancha de Bochas (The Bocce Court). The experience is enriched with a visit to its renowned Natural Sciences Museum, a key research center displaying the fossil remains of some of the oldest dinosaurs on the planet discovered right here in San Juan soil. The day concludes with a return to the town of Valle Fértil for overnight accommodation.
Day 2: After breakfast, we will depart early, crossing the provincial border into the majestic Talampaya National Park, where nature strikes with monumental scale as you enter a canyon guarded by dizzying red earth walls over 150 meters high. During the internal guided excursion, you will discover the rich history of pre-Hispanic cultures captured in ancient petroglyphs, the surprising echo resonating from the walls of La Catedral Gótica (The Gothic Cathedral), and the majesty of El Monje (The Monk) rock formation—all while observing the native wildlife that inhabits this striking red desert. At the end of the tour, we will head back to the city of San Juan via the spectacular and scenic Cuesta de Huaco, a winding road that weaves through intensely colored geological formations and offers magnificent postcards from its panoramic viewpoints. Arrival in the city in the afternoon. Accommodation at the selected hotel.
