[edit] Access and Facilities

North of the city of San Salvador de Jujuy (NW Argentina) taking the national route 34 for about 120 Km you'll arrive at the town of Libertador Gral. San Martin. From here you must take the provincial route 83 for about 10 Km and you'll arrive at the entrance of the National Park. The route 83 continues through the park to a few towns up in the mountains like San Francisco & Valle Grande.

The access route is very dangerous during the rain season (Dec-Mar) because of earth slides.

There are no accomodations in the park. To stay in the park the only possiblity is camping. For hotel you could stay at the town of Libertador Gral. San Martin or more precarious at the town of San Francisco. A bus (no luxuries) drives every morning to San Francisco and gets back in the afternoon.
