Mendoza (4 days - 3 nights)

Join us and get to know the “Edén de los Andes”, Mendoza city and its beautiful surrounding mountains. Contemplate the majesty of Aconcagua Mountain at almost 7000m high, making it the highest peak in America. Marvel at the ingenious irrigation system established by Captain Don Pedro del Castillo who founded the city in 1561. This system transports water from Mendoza River to fields of maize, beans and pumpkin, converting the place into the oasis that it is today.

Day 1

When arriving at El Plumerillo airport, we will take you to the Hotel. In the afternoon, we will go into Mendoza city to visit its attractions. At night, we will enjoy a welcome dinner together.

Day 2
Come with us and experience the immensity of the Andes range, be amazed by the outstanding panoramic views. Walk along the Panamericana route through places of serene beauty such as Potrerillos and Uspallata. We then arrive at Puente del Inca with its fascinating geological shapes and thermal springs. From here we enter the Aconcagua Provincial Park and the Horcones lagoon with imposing views of Aconcagua Peak. We continue our trip to Las Cuevas, the last Argentine village before the border with Chile.

Day 3
We will spend the whole day visiting Mendoza’s greatest source of pride, the local wine industry. We will spend time exploring the wine route combining different types of wineries – not only industrial wineries but also “artesanales” known as “boutique” wineries – where their owners will be pleased to tell you about wine production as well as the different wine varieties. We will have lunch in one of the wineries and in the afternoon return to Mendoza.

Transfer to El Plumerillo airport and return to Buenos Aires.
