Talampaya National Park

　　   Talampaya National Park is located in La Rioja Province, Argentina, 60 km from the village of Villa Unión and 240 km from the city of La Rioja. In 2000, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site.

　　   Due to erosion by wind and water, the mountains have been shaped into a variety of striking forms, each named for its unique appearance, such as: The Lost City, The Three Wise Men, The Chessboard, The Cathedral, The Monk, The Balcony Mountain, and more. At the canyon entrance, there are towering rock walls that reach up to 145 meters in height. The local fossil sites are just as significant as the natural landscapes. Fossils of turtles dating back 210 million years have been found here. Additionally, Talampaya National Park offers three main hiking routes: the Clay Path, the Drawer Path, and the Lost City Path.

　　   Address: La Rioja Province, Argentina

　　   Transportation: Accessible via Route 76 from Villa Unión, or by first taking Route 38 and then Route 150.
