All of the practical and cultural information. Online reservation you a place in a campsite or one of the houses of the parks.

There are three Visitor Centers, close to the park entrances. To the north, the Oasis visitor center located in the village of Twentynine Palms. In the west, the Joshua Tree visitor center located in the village of Johua Tree. To the south, Cottonwood Visitor Center is located 40 kilometres east of Indio's town.

Located only a few minutes from visitor center, Sulphur Works is one of the smallest geothermal areas in the park (but also the most accessible, visible from the sidewalk!). It combines both mud-mud and fumaroles, which escape from the suffering. Clay minerals, volcanic rocks and warm acid water give the earth almost irréelles colours ranging from yellow to red.

Stroll through the tufa, strange limestone concretions on the lake shore. Guided tours are organised by the rangers. Renseignez-vous au Visitor Center.

Discover the cultural and culinary secrets of the Chinese community through the streets of Chinatown. We learn a lot about the architecture of the neighborhood, one tour in its markets and its herbal shops, and we also pass through a beautiful Buddhist temple, all these steps allowing a total immersion into Chinese culture. A tour not to be missed!

9 M deep canyon covered with ferns. The site recalls the prehistoric time so that several scenes from the film Jurassic Park were shot here.

No need to climb up to Napa Valley, north of San Francisco, to visit vineyards! Here, 13 domains open their doors and their shops to visitors and buyers. The wines are less known, but equally good.

Very visited, in a huge area of hills and lakes, this schedule of the San Diego zoo leaves on the day, on large expanses, animals from all regions of the globe. There are several ways to explore the park: in a safari car, in a van, or still hanging to a Tyrolean. As the park is ecologically engaged, part of its profits are returned to endangered species defence funds.
