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.

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.
