Full Itinerary

Arrival at Mendoza airport and transfer to your accommodation.

The tour offers a wide variety of colors and landscapes. Early in the morning, as we follow the Mendoza River, we will enjoy majestic views of the Cordón del Plata mountain range and the Potrerillos Dam.

Our next stop will be Uspallata, a pre-Hispanic settlement of the Huarpe indigenous people and the southernmost point of the Inca Empire, where the Inca Trail from Peru once reached.

Next, we will visit the villages of Picheuta, Polvaredas, Punta de Vacas, and the Los Penitentes ski resort.

Further along our route, we will come across the Puente del Inca, a natural architectural wonder with thermal water springs.

Continuing our journey, at 2,750 meters above sea level, we will reach the viewpoint of Cerro Aconcagua, the Colossus of the Americas, standing at 6,959 meters. From here, visitors can access Laguna Horcones and the Aconcagua Provincial Park.

Following the international route, we will arrive at our final destination, Las Cuevas, a European-style village located at 3,200 meters above sea level.

Between Las Cuevas and the international tunnel, there is a road that leads up to the Christ the Redeemer Monument, standing at 4,200 meters above sea level, a symbol of unity between Argentina and Chile.

 

These circuits are developed among vineyards in the departments of Lujan de Cuyo and Maipu. We will contact the work culture in the hands of immigrants, using irrigation techniques (canals and ditches) inherited from the former Aborigines, that managed the huarpes to change a vast desert into a productive oasis . It is the scene of the settlement of prestigious wineries that represent Argentinian wines  in the world with high quality wines.

We visit two wineries, with traditional methods and also the ones that use the latest available technology guided by professionals in the winemaking, we show the vinification methods and processes, bottling and labeling of wines, accompanied by a tasting of the different lines that the wineries offer.

Transfer to the airport for your departure flight.
