For wine lovers, we recommend you start by visiting the charming cities of Mendoza, San Rafael and San Juan with their prestigious wineries and vineyards. The “High Mountain” excursion takes you to the heart of the Andes, where you will find the Aconcagua. Visit the paleontological site called “Moon Valley”. These are the tours you shouldn’t miss in Mendoza:
Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes Mountains, is known as “the wine capital of the world”. Visit the beautiful city park called “Cerro de la Gloria” and tour the surrounding wine region such as Luján de Cuyo, Maipú, Las Heras and the famous Uco Valley.
San Rafael is a great oasis with exceptional characteristics for the production of sparkling and high quality wines. In addition, the canyons of the Atuel and Diamante rivers are ideal for lovers of adventure tourism, inserted in a natural setting of singular beauty.
This tour begins in the city of Mendoza and follow an ascent path that goes into the heart of the Andes culminating in the border with Chile. During this tour, you can see part of the ancient Inca road network and the highest mountain in America, the Aconcagua.
The wine route continues in the province of San Juan, with excellent wineries in the Tulum Valley. To the west the imposing Andes stand out and thanks to its exceptional atmospheric conditions it is considered the national capital of astronomical tourism.
North of San Juan, the fascinating Ischigualasto Park, better known as “Valle de la Luna” that means “moon valley” , shelters an important paleontological reserve. It is the only place in the world where all the geological layers of the Triassic period can be seen.
