Though only a trickle of water winds through what, in the Quechua language, translates as the ‘Dry River of the Tala’, the spectacular rock formations and canyons of this national park are evidence of the erosive action of far greater quantities of water. It’s a dusty desert of scorching days, chilly nights, infrequent but torrential summer rains and gusty spring winds.
Visitors may not use their own vehicles on park roads; only contracted guides with pickup trucks offer tours of sandy canyons where aboriginal petroglyphs and mortars adorn streambed sites. Nesting condors scatter from cliffside nests as vehicles invade their otherwise undisturbed habitat. On the usual two-hour tour from the park’s headquarters, vehicles pass the dunes of El Playón, leading to the Puerta de Talampaya (Gate of Talampaya) entrance to the canyon.
