Discover the lunar landscapes of Ischigualasto Provincial Park on a day trip from San Juan through the Painted Valley, the Bocce Court, and the Mushroom
Embark on a unique experience traveling along the new National Tourist Route 150, a scenic journey where the landscape prepares your senses to discover the impressive Ischigualasto Provincial Park, known worldwide as the mythical Valley of the Moon and declared a World Heritage Site.
During a four hour guided tour through the most fascinating corners of this natural treasure, you will admire majestic geological formations carved over millions of years that seem straight out of another planet. The internal circuit explores iconic formations and imposing red ravines such as the mysterious Painted Valley, the enigmatic Bocce Court, the Submarine, and the emblematic Mushroom formation, in addition to visiting the William Sill Site Museum and stopping at the Interpretation Center to learn more about the historical and paleontological value of this heritage.
The return journey to the city as the sun sets allows you to enjoy an unforgettable sunset painting the sky with the colors of the desert. Please note that the entrance ticket to Ischigualasto Provincial Park and lunch are not included in the excursion, although you will have free time during the day to have lunch on your own before concluding with a drop off at selected hotels within the central radius of San Juan accompanied by a Spanish speaking tour guide or driver guide.
