Talampaya National Park Visitor Centre | Established Campground

Perfect place. Flat,quiet, clean hot shower and toilets. Table. We payed 1500 per adults and half price under 12 years old. Ok for big rig but the place are little bite narrow. For a truck maybe you have to stay in the parking lot. Wifi disponible but near the sower.

some of the below comments are really tough. for us, the campground is very good. safe (with a small child), clean, the space are not huge but why do you need a lot of space when you have the desert all around ? tables and chairs enough for everybody. there is even a restaurant, small shop and Cafe with sofas outside to chill. you can even recycle your garbage. the showers are hot and clean but be aware of the mosquitoes in the showers. for us, it's a good deal for only 1500 pesos per person. 😊 the excursion and the entry to the national park are paid separately !

Good infrastructure with clean showers and toilets, electricity at sites. Nice restaurant. The tour is ok, also Valle de Luna is sufficiently near such that you can start from this camping.

Good place for one night or two. The sanitary facilities are clean but the showers are only open in the evening. You can book tours in the center in the canyon Talampaya on the same day. The reservation for the next day, however, must be booked online, but it is impossible with a foreign credit card.

Lovely campsite with clean bathrooms and hot showers. At your side you have a table and place to make BBQ. You can book on the website but we just arrived and asked for a spot. Also many tent spots available. The sunset and surrounding landscape is very nice. While we were there some foxes were running around.

Really nice camping! Super clean toilets and showers with hot water (between 16 and 22). Restaurant nearby which was open until 22. We saw some grey fox several times. Loved the place. 3000 pesos for two persons and our motorhome.

Stayed 2 nights. 1500 pesos/adult and 750/child per night. Visitor center has Wi-Fi along with restaurant that also sells snacks. Wi-Fi reached to #10 campsite. Spots are small but flat and come with fire pits and shared picnic table. Hot showers from 4pm-10pm. Excursions are pricey but beautiful!

Passamos uma noite no acampamento oficial do parque. Não possuo água, mas tem banho quente, estava super limpo. Eletricidade tem a vontade. Existem poucos lugares para motorhome, por isso é bom reservar antes. No dia seguinte acordamos e visitamos as atrações.

O restaurante do parque fica aberto até às 22 horas.

Vimos um pôr do sol silencioso e fantástico.

Nice campsite. We arrived very late but let ourselves in. Very Clean sanitary building. No WiFi or Movistar signal. The spots are flat but very dark, no lights only from toilet building far away. We tripped several times over the low wooden fences, they could improve on that. Quiet and amazing views.

Un lugar increíble para visitar. El cañón de Talampaya es un imperdible si se visita la zona. El tour es guiado y su precio es elevado, pero vale la pena. Los guías muy atentos y las instalaciones son excelentes. Camping con luz y baños para pernoctar. Sugerencia: llegar temprano. WIFI gratuito.

An amazing place to visit. The Talampaya canyon is a must if you visit the area. The tour is guided and its price is high, but it is worth it. The guides are very attentive and the facilities are excellent. Camping with light and bathrooms to spend the night. Tip: get there early. Free WIFI

Good campsite with clean shower and bathroom. park was beautiful but they increased the prices a lot. campsite was 500pp now and for the cheapest option for the excursion we payed 14300 (including park entrance) for two people. so very expansive (thank you western union for the good exchange rate) but very worth it!

We have more exact infos today. The entrance fee is 2,700$. and plus! Cañon de Talampaya tour costs 4,450$. They did only this tour now. That means totally 7,150$ pp……..

About camping, it’s awesome. We took No.1(Each will be charged their own site, wood table and chairs, electric consents, BBQ). Modern toilet and bathroom is much better than any hostel. Last night it seems like joke, same price and disgusting toilet in San José de Jáchal. :-) Wifi(available near the restaurant) didn’t reach to the camp site.

Now the price of camping is higher than before like entrance fee, 500pp. It’s fine all facilities are maintained and clean. The hot or cold shower time is limited(16h-22h) like before. The price of entrance(Is it real? wow!) is various and high. In general(adult), depending on your journey 4,450$(Cañon de Talampaya)-5,950$(Cañon de Talampaya+Cañon Shimpa)-6,950$(Cañon de Talampaya+Los Balcones). If you’re traveling with children(They love family!), it can be more cheaper. There is no discount or not free(like Valle de la Luna) for disabled persons. This price is available only from 07.01.2022 to 09.30.2022.

Expansive, yes. Worth it? Definitely yes for me even if I hate tour. In may, I recommend going around 14hr for the canyon to be in better light. I did the combinado with both canyons; the 2nd one is not a must , but nice.

we stay at the camping of the Park one night. 220pp. nice stay. next day we do the morning tour. aprox. 3 hours. 3000pp + 1300 park fee. it is a little bit expensive but ok. The difference to the afternoon tour (2300pp) is that you have a little wolk in a valley and you can sit on the top of the Truck for 4 km. I think it is better to do the afternoon tour, save a little money, you do not miss the walk and the light is better for the photos.

The tour is expensive but worth it as they bring you into the canyon. The camping is nice with a very clean, new bathroom. Showers from 16:00 to 22:00. We could stay in the cafeteria to spend the evening.

Camping was 160 Pesos. A mini bus tour was 1080 pesos with 4 stops, 2,5 hours. A tour in the an open air bus with 5 stops was 1280 pesos. You need to add the 350 pesos park fee. I did the mini bus tour with 4 stops. For some reason I didn't pay the park fee. Probably I just got lucky. I found the tour average. Nothing special. At one stop I wanted to walk closer to the canyon wall but I wasn't allowed. The board walk was a but wet from some drizzle. They thought that I might slip.... The tour might impress someone that stayed in urban areas for most of the life.

We camped at the ‘camping’ ar the parking lot, had a very quiet night, a nice view and a nice walk. The cleanest toilets and showers in 2 months Argentina! We did the 3 hr tour with the bus with seats on top, it is expensive, but we definately enjoyed it!

Sorry but this park is a bad joke... the price to enter the park is 300pp. But you must book a tour in order to visit the canyon. The minibus tour is 830pp plus the entrance... locals don‘t pay anything so we really felt ripped off and didn‘t even visit the park. There are two short tracks that you can visit. The shorter one is about dinosaurs and might be interesting for kids. The camping didn‘t look appealing at all, it‘s basically just a part of the parking with some tables and seperate bathrooms. Really can‘t recommend this place...

Now 100ARS pp. Hot showers, but very low water pressure. Showers and restaurant (plugs available, no Wifi) open until 10pm. No wind shelters, very cold at night in winter. We were happy to sleep in the car. You have to register when you get there and fill a form. Excursions to the park are pricey (still worth it in my opinion, even if it feels less authentic than Ischigualasto). Both parks are complimentary anyway. The only problem is that only the normal excursion to the canyon has frequent departures. You need a minimum number of persons to go to Cajones de Shimpa. If you are willing to pay a bit more (or avoid the main canyon), you can visit Ciudad Perdida and Cañon Arco Iris (cost 3600ARS for 4 to 6 persons). Looks much more interesting than the excursions offered by Rolling Travel, but we didn't get a chance to check it out. Just get some more info at the entrance ;)

The entrance with parking and 'camping' is close the main road and share the same sandy area. There is no sun shelter for tents or vehicles and no wind protection. For campers there is a little extra building with toilets and showers. Hot showers are limited available from 4pm to 10pm (with no exceptions). In the morning the showers are locked. Toilets at the campground are accessible only from afternoon until around 9am in the morning but you can use toilets in the restaurant building.

Park entrance fee is now an amazing Pesos 250 pp for foreigners and there is no free access to the park. All you get included is a 15km bus ride with a driver and a spanish speeking guide (run by private operators) to the entrance of the canyon and a short 200m walk. The stop is about 15 minutes. Then you have to return. That's it.
For a lot more money (add another 400 to 600 Pesos to the entrance fee) you can buy 3 to 4 hours tours (by bus or walking) via the private operators who have their office in the central building.
As we only did the included tour to the entrance of the canyon I can't compare Parque Nacional Talampaya with Parque Provincial Ischigualasto where we did the convoy tour. But I think in Talampaya it is a lot of money to commercial operators and you can't go anywhere without them.

Organized rip off by corrupt government. Even locals are angry. Gave concession to a travel agent so you must book their tours where it would be easy to go on your own. 150 entry and 490-545 for each tour. Of course, locals pay less but law if reciprocity only applies if in THEIR advantage!

If you have been in National Parks in SW of the US, in my opinion better save your money. The 150 entrance fee includes a bus to the beginning of the canyon (you can't walk the rest, even it would easily be possible) -- try your luck and don't book one of the expensive tours and they might upgrade you as they don't want to send a separate bus just for one person.
