Parque de las Artes Marañón
Art park Marañón, located in the Uspallata Valley, is a one-of-a-kind open-air museum. Monumental sculptures rise against the backdrop of the Andes, defying wind, sun, and mountain weather. A unique experience blending art, nature, and emotion in a breathtaking landscape.
Located on Provincial Route Nº 149, just a few kilometers from Uspallata, the Parque de las Artes Marañón invites visitors to explore an open-air site where sculptures resist the harsh conditions of an arid and mountainous environment.
A highlight is the “Autumn Moon Lookout”, designed by Fausto Marañón to perfectly frame the rising of the full moon, a phenomenon that happens only once a year.
Throughout the tour, visitors will encounter technically complex works, art exhibitions, and a cultural store. The park offers both self-guided and guided tours, making it suitable for all audiences.
