We left the pretty village of San Juan Barreal in late after noon April 11 and spent the night in a small hotel near the bus station, our bus to San Augustin del Valle Fertil left from right the next morning. We reached San Augustin in late morning on 12 and have found an agency with which we organize visits to Parks Ischigualasto and Talampaya. Both parks are reserved geological and paleontological among the largest in the world dating from the Triassic period (first period of the Mesozoic era) between 250 and 200 million years. Bones and vertebrae of dinosaurs have been recovered; scientists believe that they have gone on ad severe flooding in these valleys. If the two parks were classified as World Heritage of UNESCO in 2000, their decor is different and we didn't had the impression of seeing the same thing, not at all. A Ischigualasto, you can see very many forms of rock and imagination takes ay see mushrooms, ships, sphinx ... Depending on location, the colors of the rocks are tan, red or white. The Ischigualasto park is also called Valley of the Moon because of its lunar landscape. At Park
Talampaya, we especially impressed by the canyon walls of red up to 150 m high. The canyon stretching S 15 km long, c is a marvel. The erosion has been working the rock and the water in places digs fireplaces up and down walls. We saw several Zorros (small fox with a superb tail plume), guanacos and condors many, one of the largest birds in the world of 3 md scale. Since
Park Talampaya we waited for the bus Rioja, which we avoided to leave until the village of San Augustin del Valle Fertil (150 km). A very long night of travel we waited ... We Rioja has arrived at 23.15 after 4 hours drive from Talampaya; of, we took a night bus to Tucuman and we were at 5am before returning immediately to Salta, in northwestern Argentina, at 7.30 am. .. April 14.
