Caucete

This city is one of the most outstanding places in San Juan as regards its agriculture, wine - growing and commercial activities. Here you can find tourist attractions like “El Baño del Indio" (The Indian Bath), a thermal spring from Inca times.

Difunta Correa Sanctuary

This is a religious place for prayer visited by thousands of devoted followers each year. Legend has it that a woman called Deolinda Correa was found dead in this desert area but her newborn was kept alive miraculously by being fed on her lifeless breast. Traveling to this Sanctuary during Holy Week has become a ritual hundreds of people take part in. It is estimated that about 700.000 people from all over South America visit the place each year.

Valle Fertil

It is a beautiful valley full of abundant vegetation and characterized by a hilly landscape where the houses are situated at the sloping side of the mountains. In this place we find Saint Augustine Dam ideal for fishing; "Las Tumanas" a fantastic camping area; and the famous “Valle de la Luna" (Moon Valley) which is Valle Fertil's main tourist attraction.

Ischigualasto Natural Park

Also known as "Valle de la Luna" (Moon Valley), this spot constitutes one of the major tourist attractions in San Juan and in Argentina, as well. The valley is 150 km2 and it is of both archeological and paleontological value. The rocky area dates back to 225 million years ago, making it a desired object for scientific research. This is why scientists from different parts of the world are lured to this extraordinary place to investigate its unique features. For all this, in November 2000, UNESCO declared the area to be of mankind patrimony.
