Moon Valley in Argentina
Valle Fertil is a natural oasis located almost 250 km from the city of San Juan. It is known for its varied vegetation, including cardones, jarillas, cactus, and carob trees, among others. Towns such as Chucuma, Astica, Las Tumanas, Usno and La Majadita, invite us to ride, hike or trek, visit museums and farms, and even go birdwatching. 75 km from San Agustin de Valle Fertil is the Ischigualasto Provincial Park. You probably know it as "Valley of the Moon" because of the images you have seen. Its well-known geological formations and its paleontological wealth contribute to the value and importance of this site that was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO together with the Talampaya National Park.

Traveler reviews
Ischigualasto is unmissable.
I did not find this destination on Tripadvisor, but it is a must-see place.
Beautiful landscapes.
We were two adults and one student (cheaper admission fee). We went by caravan, with the car going all the way. The guide was in the first car. We discovered the William Sill site museum. Also visited: Painted Valley, bowl field and fungus.(4 stops in total). It lasts approximately 3 hours. Dps you can visit the Ischigualasto museum and the craft fair. There is a dining room and bathrooms.
A place to meet at least once in your life
The tour is done in own car in carabana with a guide in the car ahead. They leave every hour. The route is long and flies a lot of dirt. There are 5 stops, the first the least interesting, the sphinx and bowling court beautiful, the submarine, the fungus and the museum great. Tiring but cute, to meet once in a lifetime
Wonderful place, very well preserved and prepared for tourism
excellent visit, in your own vehicle the guides take you along 42 km of incredible roads. We were lucky to have to take the guide, Luján, who made us enjoy the experience with enormous professionalism. It has all services, bathroom, bar, resting places, etc.
Very good!
Stunning place, super exploited to tourism and everything perfectly organized. Carry water and sunscreen if or if Many foreigners, I think they miss a lot because the guide only speaks Spanish...
