Because it lies 80 kilometres from Ischigualasto and 216 kilometres from La Rioja, Talampaya is difficult to get to. It's such a beautiful place, however, that the effort made to get here is quickly rewarded.

My suggestion

It's usual to organise a combined visit to both Talampaya and Ischigualasto from La Rioja. It all amounts to a lot of distance covered by road for just one day. I advise you to properly arrange it all in advance.

Talampaya Park is a palaeontological site. It's situated in the San Juan Province to the north of Argentina, 75km from Ischigualasto and 200km from San Juan.

My suggestion

Talampaya Park is arid and fully exposed to the sun. Temperatures can easily reach 45°C so don't forget your hat, sunscreen and bottle of water!
