Worth the drive to the outback of Argentina. If you're driving through San Augustin del Valle Fertil, be aware that although there is a gas station there, we passed through the town twice, and both times there was no gas. If you're going south through SADVF, you can probably find gas at the pueblo Astica about 40km south. It is... More

My wife and I, and friends from Denmark were doing a road trip during the holidays in 2011 and we chose to visit Ischigualasto National Park. It was my 2. visit, and absolutely worth another visit. Before you leave your accomodation to go to the area, or if you come directly from another area, make sure that your tank is... More

Despite the 10-hour round trip drive from Mendoza, plus a night stopover, to get to this place, we made it fit into our tight schedule and are glad we did. This was one of those places you visit and reminisce longingly about for many moons later. We hired a private guide to take us (from Valle Fertil) through the park... More

Ischigualasto is slightly off the beaten track of most travellers in Argentina, but its most definately worth the effort of travelling there. The tours are all in Spanish which is a pity but dont let it put you off as the experience is mainly visual anyway.

I visited Ischigualasto Provincial Park in August 2007 and loved it. I found it to be one of the best places I've seen in Argentina. I had planned to visit it one afternoon and see Talampaya National Park the following day but as it was snowing heavily we had to visit both parks on the same day. We visited Talampaya... More
