Tarangapaya National Park, individual travel, 2015.



Talampaya Canyon tour.



When I entered the mountains, it started raining heavily, and I moved near Talampaya National Park in the cold. Finally, when I reached the plains, the rain stopped.
This national park seems to have little rainfall, and the surrounding mountains are a place where it doesn't rain much, even when it's raining elsewhere.

Since the rain had stopped, it was lunchtime, so I entered a restaurant just before the national park, and I met a tandem motorcycle rider from Argentina. After a brief conversation, I drove a little further and met him again at the Talampaya National Park tour office, and we then took the Talampaya Canyon tour together.

I didn't really understand this area, so I followed them, but it turned out to be a good decision.
The tour was surprisingly expensive, costing around 4-5,000 yen, but I guess that's normal for Argentina.

Along the way, we all shouted at a rock that echoed.

■ Talampaya National Park entrance fee: 120 pesos
Valid for another tour on the other side of the road (Rainbow Canyon, Cañon Arco Iris) that I took the next day.
Paid together when participating in a tour.

■ Talampaya Canyon tour fee: 360 pesos
Take a bus from the entrance.
It seems that when people talk about Talampaya National Park, they basically mean this tour.

↓ The place to purchase tickets and board the bus is around here.

Rainbow Canyon (Cañon Arco Iris) tour.



The next day, I participated in a Rainbow Canyon tour in the Talampaya National Park.

The entrance fee of 120 pesos for the Talampaya National Park that I paid the other day is also valid here, so you just need to show your ticket.

■ Rainbow Canyon tour fee: 250 pesos
You will go to the entrance by van.

↓ The location is around here.

It is a colorful valley, just as its name "Rainbow" suggests.
I really enjoyed it.
