Top San Juan Nature and Wildlife Tours

Feel like you’ve traveled to another planet on a full-day tour of Ischigualasto Provincial Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as Valle de la Luna because of its lunar landscapes—on a full-day tour from San Juan. Cover more formations in less time as you travel by 4x4 vehicle, and see rocks named after what they resemble, including the Mushroom, Worm, Sphinx, and more.

The high-Andes hot springs at 10,827 feet (3,300 meters) on Cerro Las Tortolas's foothills require a 75-mile drive from Vicuña on rough mountain roads, advance reservation, and border post registration with Chilean Carabineros at Juntas del Toro—barriers that keep most independent travelers away. Keep logistics simple on this private tour, which includes breakfast in Huanta, a hot springs visit with wine pairing, and dinner back in Vicuña.
