on park tours, too.
Getting There & Away
Buses from La Rioja to Pagancillo and Villa Unión will leave you at the park entrance
(AR$80, 3½ hours), from where it's only a 500m walk to the visitor center. The earliest
bus (Facundo) leaves La Rioja at 7am, giving you plenty of time to make a day-trip.
There's a daily bus between Villa Unión, 58km up the road, and Chilecito (AR$70, three
hours) over the spectacular Miranda pass. It leaves Villa Unión at 3pm; you can make it
if you cadge a lift off someone in your tour group.
If you want to see Talampaya and Ischigualasto in one day, tour operators in La Rioja
will do it for around AR$500 per person. You could also take a remise - from La Rioja
think AR$1500 for up to four passengers; from Villa Unión they are somewhat less.
