Ischigualasto Provincial Park, also called Valle de la Luna, is in northwest Argentina. Its moonlike desert landscapes contain striking rock formations in areas like the “Painted Valley” and the “Bowling Field.” Dinosaur fossils from the Triassic Period are displayed in the park's museum. Trails run up Cerro Morado, a mountain with views over the valley. Guanacos, a llama-like animal, are common in the park.

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait!
Well, I have waited for more than one (1) month to see the Parque Provincial Ischigualasto and finally on Thursday, February 2, 2017, my wish came True!
This park reminds me very much of the other park called Talampaya out in La Rioja because both parks have a Dinosaur Style Museum, plus have several Rock Formations.
Some of the names of the Rock Formations that we saw were called "El Gusano", "El Hongo", "El Submarino", "La Esfinge", "La Cancha De Bochas", "El Valle Pintado" and "Entre Otras".
It was an amazing Experience and we had Clear Blue Skies with No Rain!
I took many pictures and with me came Jorge, our Driver And Tour Guide, Plus Ricardo and Nahir who were other tourists with me during the Excursion.
I want to also personally thank Yamile from Pinkanta Viajes out in San Juan Capital City for Making This Possible!
I also want to personally thank Sonia from the Ministerio De Turismo for Helping Me Out As Well!
Sincerely yours,
Howard Paul Shore Visitor Executive, Volunteer Writer For Google And...

We did the conventional tour cause all the others tours weren’t available. The park is ok but not that incredible as we read. The conventional tour is on your own car. We did 5 stops during the 3h tour. On of them was in the “Museum” they called. Was a joke ! The stop was in this building completely not according with the landscape and just a coffee shop more expensive from the coffee shop at the park entrance !! Mostly of the customers were complaining with absolutely reason to do it ! At the end you are obligated to buy something if you don’t have anything to drink, but luckily the toilets were free and necessary. Before to come, put down your expectation and specially if you are planning to visit The ischigualasto park and The Talampaya Park, start with the Ischigualasto... otherwise... will be totally dissatisfied about it. If is not a must for you, I recommend to do the 150 national road from or to San Jose Jachal and you will have a free tour into the Ischigualasto Park and absolutely much better and stunning... the lamas were along the read many...

My fiancé and I did a tour of Ischigualasto to do an episode of our travel blog on YouTube and we loved the experience! Not only did we go during the day, we went at night for the tour of the full moon.
It was nice to do both tours because you don’t see the same things (obviously one is during the day and the other at night) but we also go to different areas.
Our guide was great at telling us the history as well as keeping it funny — we were giggling the entire time.
There’s a nice pit stop in the middle to recharge with food, coffee, and water at your own cost.
If you’re going during the day, the last tour is at 5 and you have to hurry to make it back for the queue to pay for the full moon tour which usually starts around 9:15-9:30. Plan...
