Since the year of 2000 The Talampaya National Park has belonged to the UNESCO World Heritage List.


However, to drive here around by its own is not allowed. You just have to leave your car in the parking lot, and then use specifically applied car for tourists.

No queue whatsoever .And even no waiting for the beginning of the tour. I guess I got there exactly in time and inside the bus there were only couple of free seats.

Chilecito Cable Car

07.01.2015 – 08.01.2015
Chilecito, Argentina.

The Cable Car runs through the town up to La Mejicana mines in the mountains. As such, there seems to be nothing extraordinary - as in the mountains there are often cable cars, but if you look at some of the numbers, it's getting quite interesting.


The start place is here in the town of Chilecito, but the final stop is situated 35 kilometers away at the altitude of 4400 meters, and totally there are 262 towers (not making a mistake - really two hundred and sixty-two towers), some of them up to 55 meters in height.
