I have been to Ischigualasto park (Valle della Luna) in January, it's really worth it. I recommend doing the full moon tour, when the moon light reflects on the white stones. Amazing.
This park was a fun activity to do, though a bit hard if you don't have a car. We stayed in St Augustin and had to hire a car and driver for the tour. When we arrived we put our name down for the next tour. The tours happen hourly. We then visited the museum and little shops to kill time. If needed there is also a cafeteria with food and drinks. The tour of the park is done caravan style, everyone drives around, and at each stop gets out to hear the explanation. If you don't speak Spanish it will be over your head. Our elementary Spanish didn't lend itself to understanding geological terms so we were a bit bored during the long explanations. The scenery is beautiful though, so more of our fault for not speaking the language. I wish we had looked up all the information about the site online before going. I also expected that since non-Argentians pay 4x more that they'd have something in English, but this was not the case. Again, our fault, not theirs, but I feel that others should know to be prepared!We took some amazing pictures and are glad that we went, we would just recommend being a bit more prepared to others. Also, there is no food or water in the park, so make sure you have enough to sustain yourself for the 4 hour tour. We went for the sunset tour and the views were remarkable, so I'd recommend trying for the last entry at 5p as well if possible for your schedule.
This place is amazing! You get to see really great views over the desert. It's best to go there by car (I don't really know if there is any other way). In the park there is a guided tour where everyone drives with there car and the guide shows you the best places and explains about the landscape and how it came to be this way. Together with Talampaya Park it's a really nice day trip and definetly worth the drive. On the way you get to see nice landscapes and even some cool animals.
It was a very special feeling to see the rock formations in grey/white. We drove in a car Caravan with only one guide. The guides English was poore.
The trip to this park was very insightful! Our guide was very kind and she gave us a lot of interesting facts. The sights are amazing! This park is quite remote, but the trip to this park is amazing as well!
The history is amazing and the landscapes were breathtaking. You are in and out of your car as you take the tour. The hikes you take (15 min max.) are light and easy. Still - where good boots or shoes. Service in the cafe was awful by any standard. Buy a sandwich to go (excellent bread) and save yourself the frustration.
在2007年的8月我参观了伊沙瓜拉斯托国家公园,我非常喜欢它。我发现它是我在阿根廷参观过的最棒的地方之一。我本来计划在一个下午去参观伊沙瓜拉斯托国家公园,然后在第二天参观塔拉姆佩雅自然公园,但是由于雪下得很大,所以我们在同一天参观了这两个公园。我们在上午去参观塔拉姆佩雅自然公园,下午2:30左右到达伊沙瓜拉斯托国家公园。门票每人136元人民币,但那里当地人的门票费,所以对于外国游客可能就会更贵一点。你必须得开着自己的车进去,如果你没有车,你得租一辆或坐一辆汽车进去。公园的路没有铺过,但是很安全。离开接待中心的小汽车就像是一直旅行车队,总共有五个停靠站:1)el gusano岩层,2)月亮谷,3)cancha de bochas,4)潜水艇岩层,5)'el hongo'岩层。我原以来和伊沙瓜拉斯托国家公园相比我会更喜欢塔拉姆佩雅自然公园,但是我错了,我非常喜欢伊沙瓜拉斯托国家公园,这个地方是如此的奇妙、如此的漂亮。岩层、群山的色彩,一切是那么的不可思议。有人告诉我在下午去参观公园很不错,她是对的。日落的时候,景色更加的迷人。包括参观博物馆在内,这个旅行持续了三个半小时,我不知道这个旅行是否有英语解说,或许你得带上你的私人导游去那里为你翻译公园管理员所说的话。伊沙瓜拉斯托国家公园冬天的时候下午四点就关闭,夏天在下午五点关闭。我是冬天去的那里,天冷,但也不是很冷,他们说再夏天这里特别的热。这个公园远离任何一个城市中心,所以最好在天黑之前离开这个地方。这片区域最棒最值得参观的地方是an Agustín del Valle Fértil,大概在南部60公里处。道路是铺过的,但是附近有一些山羊出没,所以要当心。总之,在这两个公园都能看到一些阿根廷最漂亮的地形。在自然风景上他们和西北部的一样漂亮,在看我来,他们和乌马瓦卡一样漂亮,比卡法亚特的Rio de las Conchas's gorge要漂亮得多。不要错过了圣胡安和拉里奥哈地区,那些都是很漂亮的地方!谢谢您的阅读。
The scenery of the Valle de la Luna is really beautiful in the middle of a desert. It really seems to be on another planet!Unfortunately to drive to the beautiful place you have to book a tour with a guide which spoke only spanish and in my opinion exagerated in telling information about this place as he also talked about the creation of the earth with all following steps and so on. I like it to have information but this technical things were only told in spanish and unfortunatelty my spanish is not good enough for it so it became quite boring with all the stops we had to do. The whole tour took more than 4 hours! But anyway I recommend this tour but be aware that it can be boring at the end and plan enough time for it.
Please allow yourself to see the greatness of Mother Nature. This is a "MUST SEE" spot in Argentina. Don`t miss it!!!
We went two times. To times 130 km one way. Both times closed because the night rain.Ok the parc is closed, why not open the museum?Why not informing people on their website.So before you go, ask you hotel service desk to check if it is open.
