Things to do in Parque Provincial Ischigualasto

1. Valle de la Luna

   • Parque Provincial Ischigualasto, Argentina
   • Sights › Other

   Also known fittingly as Valle de la Luna, this park takes its name from the Diaguita word for land without life. Visits here are a spectacular step – or drive, as the case may be – into a world of surreal rock formations, dinosaur remains and glowing red sunsets. The park is in some ways comparable to North American national parks such as Bryce Canyon or Zion, except that here, time and water have exposed a wealth of fossils (some 180 million years old, from the Triassic period).
