Laguna Brava

Reviewed By Dweeze90

Today we had a wonderful tour with Runacay. They picked us up at our house with a giant 4wd. We had a lovely day. English spoken and some surprises on the road, highly recommended.

Parque Nacional Talampaya

Reviewed By menonrina - Peterborough, United Kingdom

If you are planning to visit Talampaya (Parque Nacional Talampaya, route 76), its 50 km from Villa Union. Would recommend popping into town and booking the 10:15 overland truck (called 4x4). It takes around 25 people and costs 2170 peso per person. This includes the park fees – you will get white wine, water, iced tea, olives, something to eat and sparkling white wine. The guide will only speak in English, but the Argentinians are more than happy to translate into English for you. It’s a great 4 hr ride. Take a sun hat, long sleeve shirt and walking trousers and good shoes as the sun is very very hot. Good photo opportunities.

Quebrada de Olta

The route starts in the village, leaving by Avenida Padre Conrero. Follow the river to climb the old irrigation canal, walking along the canal to reach the tap. From that moment the road is more demanding and spectacular, through stones, river and reeds, you reach the dam wall climbing a long stairway Olta cement.
