Discovering Villa Unión
The potential of its outings and the joy of its popular festivals both in the town and the surroundings are evident all around this small area.
Talampaya National Park
This is one of the most important attractions in the region of Cuyo and in particular in the Province of La Rioja. An inestimable geological treasure that may be visited by car, bicycle or on foot.
Vallecito Encantado and Guandacol
The surroundings of the village hide nooks where we can travel back in geological time and discover their astonishing shapes that appear to be out of this world.
Anchumbil and Its Pictograms
The ravine is known as Pequeño Talampaya (Small Talampaya), as it resembles the colors, shapes and structures of its famous big brother.
Banda Florida and The Petroglyphs
This outing guarantees contact with natural spaces that have been transformed throughout millions of years. Today, they give evidence of the presence of ancient civilizations.
Guandacol Looms
Weaving is a craft that has been revalued because there are people who continuously rescue that ancient task and spread the word about its existence.
On the Road to Talampaya
Though a few kilometers stand between Villa Unión and Talampaya, they are enough to get an idea of the magical world at our disposal inside the park.
Towards Ischigualasto
After being delighted by Talampaya, another natural wonder catches the eye of visitors: Ischigualasto. Accessing it implies taking an arid harsh road.
