아르헨티나‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 협곡

We walked a large part of the walk today. I personally found the climbing difficult. A lot of climbing and scrambling on narrow paths. It had also rained a lot so sometimes it was slippery. Beautiful views and quite an adventure 😊

A quick tip for leaving the town: you can continue the walk through the water wearing sandals, otherwise sturdy hiking boots are recommended for the back part

There are many cool pools here to cool off in!

Talampaya National Park is a national park located in the east/centre of La Rioja Province, Argentina. It was designated a provincial reserve in 1975, a national park in 1997, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. The park includes: - The dry bed of the Talampaya River, where dinosaurs lived millions of years ago - fossils, whilst not as interesting as Ischigualasto, have been found here; - The Talampaya gorge and its rock formations with walls of the Talampaya Formation of up to 143 metres (469 ft) high, narrowing to 80 metres (262 ft) at one point; - The remains of indigenous peoples' settlements, such as the petroglyphs of the Puerta del Cañón; - A botanical garden of the local flora at the narrow point of the canyon; - Regional fauna, including guanacos, hares, maras, foxes and condors. (Wikipedia) Park visitors must join a guided tour that visits the park's most popular sights. Even with the limitations, it is be much worth a visit!

Due to the natural jump of the Tapalque stream, once it crosses it, the channel becomes a beautiful and picturesque canyon with striking ravines. A few years ago, fossil remains were found that allow us to investigate the history of the place and that add great value to the area.

Good specific footwear to avoid surprises or possible sprains, patience and a calm rhythm, rest as many times as necessary. It can be done from children to older adults who are healthy. It is a short distance and little altitude gained and lost but the slope is important for people with little physical condition, it is tiring but it can be done.

After that only hiking on private property with a guide

The path to the Laguna de los Tres follows the valley of the Chorillo del Salto between the swamp section and the junction to the Laguna Capri.
