The
trip begins in ¨Malargue¨ the so called
Capital of the Adventure Tourism. Here nature will
surprise us with the incredible rock formations
of the "Atuel" river canyon.
The
road will lead us into the earth visiting the "Witches'
cave" in a complete and adventurous speleologic
tour.
The
adventure continues in the valley of "Las Leñas"
(an incredible winter complex), the "Pozo de
las Animas" which is an old crater just at
ground level and the "Niña Encantada"
lagoon.
Our
trip goes on trough the "Argentine wine route"
crossing San Rafael and the city of Mendoza, which
will be used as a base to visit the America's highest
mountain named "Aconcagua" (6960 m / 21000
ft).
Unforgettable
is the word that describes perfectly well the rafting
of the river Mendoza which reaches 4/5 levels of
rapid difficulty according to the season. The wine
tastings will also be part of the remarkable journey.
More
surprising will be our visit to "Ischigualasto
Park" better known as "Valle de la Luna"
(Moon Valley), a huge paleontological park in the
province of San Juan. Of course the tour could not
be complete without visiting the "Talampaya
National Park" famous archeological site full
of aborigines' paintings and surrounded by the beautiful
river-carved landscape of the canyon.
These
two contiguous parks, contain the most complete
continental fossil record known from the Triassic
Period (245-208 million years ago). No other place
in the world has a fossil record comparable to that
of Ischigualasto-Talampaya thus being declared World
Heritage by UNESCO on 2000.
