We departed our Hotel Vinos del Sol at 7:45AM, stopped for petro at Jachal, then arrived at this Provincial Park at 11AM. Due to extensive active construction, the entry fee(250Ap each) was waived and we entered without charge. After using the clean restrooms, we visited its Museum of Natural History, a circular walk of ~ 10 rooms of models/dioramas and information on the dinosaurs found in this park. We learned the herbivores were the oldest followed by the carnivores. One display featured the oldest predatory dinosaurs, the Eoraptor lunensis, an emu- sized bird with a sharp set of teeth and the vicious pack hunting instinct feared by all. We drove on to the Talampaya National Park before retracing to Route 40/150 and to our hotel in La Rioja, arriving at 4PM, a full day of nearly 400 miles over beautiful but lonely mountain scenery.

The 35-acre estate has been worked by our family since 1897. Driven by the desire to see how our grapes become high quality wines, we finished building a small winery in 2004, with an output capacity of sixty thousand liters, and the most advanced technology, which allows for excellence in vinification.

Winery is beautiful; owners take care about this vineyard.
The owner, takes care of your visit. She asks you about your interests about visiting the winery, so you can have a tour about the process of production of wine, or if you are interested in tasting and purchase wines. There is: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, but also you can find Bonarda and the best one Torrontés.

This small museum in an old part of the former railway station given you an idea of the town before and after the earthquake. Dont miss the earthquake simulator. Free entry

Modern and nothing remarkable to look at from the outside, but inside its really quite nice and airy, and obviously very different from the old colonial-style little church's you see around the north and west regions of Argentina. Worth a side-trip to admire.

Actualmente celda totalmente vacía, por lo que ahora se pueden apreciar únicamente sus Paredes y techo
En el interior del convento Santo Domingo se encuentra la celda (habitación) que ocupó el Gral. San Martín en 1815, cedida por el prior de los dominicos para que preparase la campaña libertadora a Chile y al Alto Perú.
Lamentablemente en 2007 la Comisión Nacional de Monumentos y Lugares Históricos quitó de la celda todos los elementos que no hubieren estado presentes durante la visita de San Martín en 1815 y realizó un nuevo guion museológico para los visitantes. Esto detonó un conflicto con la Asociación Sanmartiniana que retiró todos los objetos históricos que exponía en la celda, que fueron trasladados al Regimiento de Infantería de Montaña n° 22, ubicado en la provincia de San Juan.

There were fours galleries to view, two per floor. Admission is cheaper if you are 'who-bee-lad-ho' i.e retired. Much of the exhibits on first floor (left) we for us early contemporary works, and a mix of black n white, sketched and colour. Interesting to view some of the early work of Argentina's 30's and more recent.

How many miracles attributed to the Difunta Correa? There is so much stuff there given to her as proof of gratitude that you wander amongst little wooden houses, licence's plates, sport trophies and so on wondering about that popular cult which is so huge in Argentina. Incredible. A must see!

Reviewed By 30Jose - San Miguel de Tucuman, Argentina
El río San Juan es el principal y casi único medio que aporta el agua corriente (previos embalses y filtrados) a toda la ciudad Capital de San Juan y departamentos aledaños; así como también es el que mayormente se utiliza para regadío
Es un lugar de esparcimiento y de gran belleza natural, ideal para refrescarse o tomar unos mates. Hay muy poca sombra y casi nulos lugares para comprar algo, así que hay que ir preparados. En algunos sectores pueden cobrarte $ 50 el ingreso.
