Description
Your experience begins with a pickup from your accommodation. We'll take you along scenic local roads through Chacras de Coria, Vistalba, Las Compuertas, Blanco Encalada, Cacheuta, Potrerillos, and Vallecitos, discovering the quieter side of Mendoza's mountain landscapes.
We'll stop at Potrerillos Dam to admire the breathtaking mountain scenery and share a traditional mate experience accompanied by local pastries. Sharing mate is a cherished Argentine tradition and a wonderful opportunity to exchange stories, get to know each other, and connect through the simple pleasure of sharing.
Our journey continues to Vallecitos, a mountain area surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Andes. When weather conditions allow and everyone feels comfortable, we'll take a walk along a mountain trail leading to the Río Blanco bridge and the Puma viewpoint. Along the way, you can enjoy the fresh mountain air, take in the scenery, and connect with nature at a relaxed pace.
We'll also share a delicious picnic prepared by your local hosts, featuring carefully selected ingredients and flavors inspired by local food culture. We offer vegan and vegetarian options, and gluten-free meals are available upon request.
More than just a sightseeing tour, this experience is an invitation to slow down, discover places away from the usual tourist routes, and connect with the people and landscapes that make Mendoza special. We believe that traveling is also about human connection: sharing experiences, exchanging perspectives, and creating meaningful memories together.
Come as you are, leave the rush behind, and discover the mountains through nature, local traditions, good food, and genuine human connection.
