The most beautiful natural sites to discover Argentina

It is the Talampaya guides co-operative that manages this excursion. The canyon has its name (rainbow) since it will be followed by a variety of colours, from ochre to violet.

This circuit takes you to a rather wild gorge, Los Cajones, where the Río Talampaya is born, but it is no longer possible to venture further because of the stone falls. The canyon in question is very narrow.

The trail starts from the campsite and goes up to the summit of the Cerro of the Sociedad Científica from where you can enjoy a nice panoramic view. Duration 45 minutes.

For wind fous, Comodoro reserves a very nice surprise: 17 km north of the city, we find the country's largest wind farm and the second in South America… a surreal image, a little to the image of Comodoro. The park consists of eight windmills that generate 10% of the energy needed to supply the city. You will have the opportunity to see it (from a distance) from the airport.

The north of the city stretches from wild beaches to lost sight. The most beautiful are Cabo Curioso and La Mina. A mirador also allows to observe a colony of sea lions.

No you don't dream, the cave of Lourdes (without the basilica!) has its (almost) copy in line with Mar del Plata. Bernadette Soubirous never landed in Argentina, but believing all ex-voto ephemera on the rocks, the virgin of the Gruta de Lurdes is capable here of miracles too. Kitsch fans will enjoy.

60 km south of the city, you will discover a magnificent lagoon, once the crater of a former volcano. It owes its name to its blue colour, exceptional, thanks to the depth of its waters. The only way to get there, if you don't have your own vehicle, is to stop.
