San Juan and Talampaya

After Mendoza we headed north to San Juan, a more chilled out little brother version of Mendoza, where we stayed in a beautiful but run down hostel and watched some amazing thunder and lighting.

After a couple of days frying in the heat there (max 40, min 25), we headed further north to the Valle Fertil and a little town, well village, called San Agustin to stay in a little bungalow called Cabaña la Hilda where we played with the resident puppy and had bbqs.



San Agustin was also the place from which to do a tour to Talampaya National Park. Basically you travel along a dried up river bed in a massive canyon with huge great 160m tall sandstone cliffs and various rock formations, plus have a look at some ancient art work of guanacos on some of the rocks there. We also saw some massive dog sized rabbits called mares
