Gorgeous gorge
March 18, 2016 in Argentina ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Talampaya national park is another of Argentina's several UNESCO sites. A huge red sandstone gorge where they have found lots of dinosaur fossils (mostly now in the University). That one with Lisa is a real one - honest 😉. We saw a set of ancient petroglyphs which show that this was an old nomad route along the river bed. I got a condor shot for you Mary, but trust me it is just a black splodge so didn't make the 6. There was a fantastic triple echo across the canyon when we all shouted in unison. We saw parrots, eagles, maras, vicuñas and a tree with photosynthetic bark - very cool.Read more

A la mañana del miercoles salimos para conocer el parque nacional Talampaya, que esta a unos 50km de Villa Union.

Recorrimos el parque en un camion con techo abierto, para tener una vista completa del cañon. Igual paramos en varios lugares para caminar un rato y el guia nos explicaba lo mas importante de cada lugar. Vimos guanacos, maras, condores, nos mostro la flora del lugar y los usos tradicionales de cada planta, y tambien nos mostro petroglifos.

Incluso tuvimos mesa de comidas y bebidas al pie del camion. Aceitunas, nueces, limonada, vino Torrontes... estuvo excelente!

El parque tiene lugares increibles, y la historia geologica del lugar nos sorprendio mucho.Read more
