It's a stunning drive, with no services apart from a seasonal white-elephant hotel halfway between Fiambalá and the...

Parque Nacional Talampaya

　　The spectacular rock formations and canyons of this dusty desert national park are evidence of the erosive creativity of water.

Garganta del Diablo

　　A 1.1km walkway across the placid Río Iguazú leads to one of the planet’s most spectacular sights, the 'Devil’s Throat.'
