Villa las Tinajas Archaeological Park
National park
Nature & Parks
Exploring Villa las Tinajas Archaeological Park with guides is an intriguing experience. Visitors can expect to discover a different side of history while venturing into the caves. It should be noted that navigating through the three sections of these caverns requires some effort, as one must frequently stoop and get dirty. Nonetheless, this adds to the amusement and excitement of the journey.
(Translated by Google) Super interesting. The explanation of the guides makes you go back in time and the adventure route goes through a cave, with all the security to enjoy with the family. There is also the possibility of a self-guided walk along another path. It is important to bring water and keep in mind that there are no bathrooms.
(Original)
Super interesante. La explicación de la guias te hace volver en el tiempo y el recorrido de aventura pasa por una cueva, con toda la seguridad para disfrutar en familia. Tambien esta la posibilidad de una caminata auto guiada por otro sendero. Es importante llevar agua y tener en cuenta que no hay baños.

(Translated by Google) The experience of touring the Park with the guides is interesting. We went with the idea that the kids would do something different and learn a little about history and the truth is that it surprised us all, since entering the caves is very fun. Be careful, it is not so easy to be in the caves because you have to bend down a lot and get dirty to get through the 3 sections there are.
(Original)
Es interesante la experiencia de recorrer el Parque con los guías. Fuimos con la idea que los chicos hagan algo distinto y conozcan un poco de historia y la verdad que nos sorprendió a todos, ya que el ingreso a las cavernas se hace muy divertido. Ojo que no es tan sencillo estar en las cuevas porque tenés que agacharte bastante y ensuciarte para pasar en los 3 tramos que hay.
Luciano Quiroz — Google review
(Translated by Google) We took an excursion at dusk-night entering the caves and you can see the rock paintings, they tell the story of the Huarpes and the Puelches who inhabited the area.
⚠️ It is not suitable for claustrophobics. It has really small steps where you have to crouch down quite a bit. Contortionist skills are valued haha
I recommend comfortable clothing and you have to know that it is going to get a little dirty...You have to be careful with bat and rodent excrement!
Upon leaving the cave we could see a divine sky, full of stars. It was worth it
(Original)
Hicimos una excursión al atardecer-noche entrando a las cuevas y se pueden apreciar las pinturas rupestres, cuentan la historia de los huarpes y los puelches que habitaron la zona.
⚠️ No es apto claustrofobicos. Tiene pasos realmente chiquitos donde hay que agazaparse bastante. Son valoradas las habilidades contorsionistas jaja
Recomiendo ropa cómoda y tenés que saber que se va a ensuciar un poquito...Hay que tener cuidado con el excremento de los murciélagos y roedores!
Al salir de la cueva pudimos ver un cielo divino, lleno de estrellas. Valio la pena

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience, especially for the kids. Sol was a genius, the guide who made the tour fun and engaging for the kids, who learned more about our native peoples. In addition, we were able to see some local animals.
I give one less star because I think the owners should update their pages and networks and promote the place better since not having much data, we almost don't go for fear that it won't be a good experience.
(Original)
Hermosa experiencia, sobre todo para los chicos. Una genia Sol, la guía que hizo el recorrido divertido y atrapante para los chicos, quienes aprendieron más sobre nuestros pueblos originarios. Además, pudimos ver algunos animales del lugar.

(Translated by Google) The truth is, if you can do it! The history of the native peoples and the excursion in the cave are beautiful. We loved it. We did it with a 4 year old boy and he was really encouraged! Adults only pay $700 each. The tour lasts 2 hours in total. I recommend it!!

Nice place to go and spend at least a couple hours. Places to do pic-nics, you can also have local food and wine right there. The maze is really good and fun for kids, while there's also a playground.
On the downside, toilets were less than impressive and the video about the history of the place was way too long (1 hr).

Bodega La Abeja is a historic winery established in 1883, offering guided tours and tastings. Visitors have praised the smaller, more private group tours that offer numerous complimentary wine tastings of about 5 or 6 different wines. The knowledgeable tour guides provide insights into the winemaking process, including grape harvesting and bottling. Guests appreciate the friendly and informative staff, with special mentions for guides like Sofi and Juan Pablo who enhance the experience with their expertise and humor.
We messaged on WhatsApp to schedule an appointment. The tour was enjoyable, and the wine tasting at the end was fantastic, with numerous samples. For $2000, it was an outstanding value, and we also received a full glass of house wine for only $200 while we waited for the tour to begin.
Eric Scott — Google review
Bodega La Abeja was fantastic! For only $1000 pesos it was a brilliant tour. Sofie was a lovely tour guide who gave us a private tour in English. We loved trying their wines in the private tasting room as well! A brilliant bodega with a fantastic history and some very tasty wines... We'd 100% recommend!

Nagaoka accepts criticism cheerfully, and uses criticism productively to develop own abilities and skills. When working to a firm but realistic deadline, Nagaoka always completes tasks to an adequate standard. Accuracy and neatness may suffer but the outcome is acceptable. Puts in some extra hours to meet the deadline. When dressed for the job, personal appearance and dress immediately impress. Distinctive, perhaps distinguished. Performs most jobs well and has the habit of checking work outcomes. Nagaoka is achieving excellence in some areas but in others is not yet achieving the highest standards.
A persuasive, engaging speaker when well-prepared, but uncomfortable and less effective when asked to speak off-the-cuff. Nagaoka enjoys working without supervision and usually continues to carry out duties effectively. Still needs to learn when it is appropriate to call for a supervisor’s advice or authority to act. Habitually asks questions in order to fully understand a position or a statement. Keeps asking until the facts are clear and the truth is understood. Can work in a team but often produces individual work at the end of a group activity. Not supportive or tolerant of others in the team.

There are several options to do, and it is not cheap.

Bodega Alfa Crux is a must-visit destination for food and wine enthusiasts. The restaurant, Crux Cocina, offers a set menu with six courses paired with a selection of wines from their Crux, Xtra, Beta, and Alfa ranges. The wooden deck outside the restaurant overlooks an artificial lake, providing a stunning backdrop for your dining experience.

Food was not great. We paid 5000 pesos for two people for a tasting that should have cost 2500. Small portions mediocre taste. WAY To OVER PRICED.

Deceptive Hotel, Beware of Exchange Rate Scams!
I can't believe the audacity of this hotel! They intentionally manipulate exchange rates to trick customers into paying more than they should. It's a blatant rip-off, and the management seems perfectly fine with deceiving their guests. Save your money and sanity—stay far away from this dishonest establishment!
Not only does this hotel engage in shady exchange rate practices, but they also flat-out refuse cancellation requests through all means possible. It's as if they take pride in trapping guests in their deceitful web. A clear warning to anyone considering booking here: your money and peace of mind are at risk, and good luck trying to escape this nightmare of a reservation
Paul Tab — Google review
The staff were really really nice and welcoming, and we got a great deal including a sunset dinner at the winery. But without that, this place is completely overpriced.
The room is very outdated, especially the bathroom. The bathroom door couldn’t even be closed from the outside, everything there was chipped, cracked and rusty. The bathroom tiles had many stains that could easily be removed with wet toilet paper so it makes me wonder how often was this place cleaned properly. We also had many dead flies on the bathroom floor.
Breakfast was also pretty poor with very dry bread.
Only good thing there is the nice surrounding and the location nearby many bodegas.

They charged a whopping 10% extra on our hotel bill because we paid with a credit card (in a single payment). We didn't know until afterwards that this is ILLEGAL in Argentina and when we found out, we contacted them but they refused to return the extra we were charged. Highway robbery.

We loved our stay at Postales. The rooms are simple but spacious, the beds sooo comfortable and the bathroom large with a great shower. And the location is amazing. Close to many of the Uco Valley vineyards and set off the road in a secluded little space surrounded by vines. The staff were helpful and we ate at there restaurant twice and the food was great. It was too cold for swimming but they have a lovely pool for warmer weather.

A beautiful spot, but the rooms had very old and dirty carpet, pillows and bedding, as well as tattered window coverings. A few investments would go a long way to improve the quality of the rooms. Breakfast was understaffed and slow. Staff was very friendly and helpful to set up wine tasting. Note that the hotel is about 1 hour from most vineyards.

Espacio Salentein
$$$$expensive
Restaurant
Espacio Salentein is a modern winery located in the UCO Valley, surrounded by stunning views of mountains and vineyards. The building itself is made of cast concrete and offers a unique setting for wine enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy an exquisite menu paired with fine wines while taking in the beautiful Andes scenery. The venue also hosts art events, musical shows, and even serves as a destination wedding location.
Great place but make sure you reserve first or else you're stuck with just walking the grounds.
Amazing menu, it's an experience for the senses. Great food, wine acompanied by a beautiful view of the Andes, there's nothing like it.
If you smoke, you can step out onto the porch and sit in the sofas-enjoy an incredible view, don't forget your wine glass.
Great service and I recommend buying their wine glasses at the gift shop and the olive oil. 🫒

We arrived there just on time for lunch.
We were on one of the first tables to be seated. After choosing our menu and getting our first plate we realized that all the other tables had gotten some bread with some type of sauce. They forgot about us and totally pretended not to see that (even when they came to take the plates). The food is really good! But nothing special at all. I’d expect something more elaborated for this price (10,500.00 per person). The second thing that got me intrigued is that there was a street dog roaming around the restaurant and the waiters pretended that it was something normal. The dog was full of fleas and totally not taken care of. None of the waiters took the dog away (you would expect a high level restaurant not to have street animals roaming between the tables). At some point the dog even jumped on my GF and got her blouse mud dirty. The third and last thing was that there was SO MUCH trash on the grass. Pieced of paper, plastic, cigarettes. It seems like no one has ever cleaned that up. In the end, I’d recommend you to take the tour but eat somewhere else (maybe even better for that price tag). I didn’t enjoy it at all.

My wife and I had a fabulous time on a private tour at Bodega Salentein. Our tour guide, Marcelo, made the experience memorable with his passionate and knowledgeable presentation, and we felt so very welcomed. The six wines we tried were all excellent and each at the top of its class. Our favorite was the Numina Gran Corte, which is a blend of malbec, cabernet, merlot, cab franc, and petit verdot. The Primus malbec 2015 was excellent as well. The tour normally takes 1.5 hours but we got along so well with Marcelo, it was well over 2 hours and we were still in tasting room when Marcelo finally was asked to move on. Just to demonstrate the tremendous hospitality this Bodega shows its visitors. Would love to re-visit next time we're in Mendoza.

A classic views in the UCO Valley surrounded by mountains and vineyards. The views change as the day goes by making one of a kind sunset. Great destination wedding place, tons of art events and musical shows. This place is definitely worth to visit if you hard going near by.
One of the best quality/ price ratio wine yard we visited. So much good food, such a nice and chill place to eat!
Very Argentinean in its core. Definitely a must go if you want to try out a small, family friendly place without loosing food and wine quality.

Excellent food, service & staff, with lots of atmosphere. You can ‘dine in’ or in a couple of patio’s. A great place to dine. They provide entertainment although I most dearly would have preferred traditional music as opposed to a saxophonist (although many people did like him apparently).
Geoff Lewis — Google review
Would give six stars if possible. What a wonderful experience! Definitely make a reservation for lunch with the wine pairing. So good. Friendly family owned unpretentious bodega with amazing views of the Andes. Well worth the drive!
Danny — Google review
We absolutely loved our lunch today. The atmosphere is more laid back than other vineyards we have visited. They just leave the bottles on the table for you to help yourself, which we enjoyed very much. The food was divine. I had the pork belly and my wife had the pork shoulder. Both were terrific. And all 3 of the starters were delicious as well.
It is a great value as well. We paid more than twice as much for the tasting menu lunch at another nearby vineyard this week and Bodega La Azul was as good if not better.
Highly recommend this place.

We enjoyed a great afternoon at La Azul! Be prepared to be stuffed on food and wine. A great stop in the valley - my husband's regret was that he was driving and couldn't drink much. Get a driver and enjoy the long lunch there. The food and wine were well done.

The 5 course meal and the unlimited wine was perfect in such a beautiful winery,small and cozy!! Our waiter Nicolas was excellent!
Marisol Navarro — Google review
It was so, so good! Our pourer for our tasting (I can't remember his name) was so knowledgeable and had the perfect demeanor. The wines were all very good. Even though La Azul appears like a big party, the staff is very professional. It is definitely worth the visit if you are looking for something a bit more loose and carefree.
Lance Brown — Google review
One of our top lunch experience during our trip. If you don’t have a great time your doing something wrong. All of our dishes were incredibly delicious. The service was spot on perfect. After a day of tasting Big jammy Malbecs the unoaked & slightly oaked wines served with lunch were a perfect paring
Robert Alexander — Google review
My wife and I had the 5 course lunch here, and we really enjoyed the experience. It was especially fun because we dined a few hours before the Argentina and Croatia World Cup futbol match, so the entire staff was hyped up and in a party mood. The food was flavorful, the staff was knowledgeable, and the wine was unlimited. Yes, the WINE WAS UNLIMITED. The ribeye was really good, as were the appetizers and desserts. You will definitely leave with your belly full, and satisfied. And it was all reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

La Azul is a great place. The 5 course tasting menu was amazing and definitely worth it. The staff was kind and the energy of La Azul was uplifting.
With the 5 course tasting, the main course could be drastically reduced. So much of it went to waste and we all agreed the entree could have been cut in half and still been plenty of food.
The wine tasting was casual, it felt a bit more or just table wine with lunch but still very enjoyable
Sara Sowsian — Google review
Excellent food (option of 5 or 3 course menu), endless (good!) wine, outstanding staff. One of the best lunch/tasting experiences I’ve had. Be sure to make a reservation… they’re busy during lunch hour.

Easily the highlight of Mendoza and its Uco Valley wine region. You would be foolish to come to Mendoza and not visit La Azul for at least a few hours. The setting, staff, food and wine were all top-notch.
First and foremost, a lot of vineyards in the Uco Valley are very fancy, sharp -- all in a very modern art style. We visited a number of them. And that's nice, and the wine is always at least good. But La Azul is much more relaxed, fun and colorful, and the experience there is centered around the restaurant.
Get a reservation for lunch no later than 2:30. We did the five-course lunch, and every course was amazing and worth it. The wood-fired oven bread bites were dangerously good and unlimited. So was the wine (truly, unlimited with the meal!!). You try five with lunch. I wondered if the wine here would be good, and absolutely, it was as great as the food! They don't have 30 different bottles and varieties like some places, but what they had was great and worth buying to bring back (the Gran Reserva Malbec in particular). They still have a dozen varieties.
The dining area had a live sax player and occasionally got everyone clapping and cheering along. It was truly an entertaining atmosphere.
The production tour is simple but great, especially letting us test a wine right out of the barrel (still had months to go); no other place did that.
There is a lot of seating outdoors to relax, enjoy and digest. The staff were the friendliest on our whole trip (having a cute 9-month-old maybe helped).
So, go here, get a reservation, be ready to eat, enjoy the outdoors around the property and spend up to a half day here. The location is great, too, as there are other vineyards of all types around, from the very formal Salentein (has an art museum worth a stroll) to the more rustic Domaine Bousquet (also amazing wine/food).
Spencer Perkins — Google review
One of the most delightful afternoons I have ever had! This place is a gem, no matter who you are or where you’re from. The staff is amazing and has a great, welcoming, hospitable energy. The atmosphere is cozy. The wine is delicious and the food will have you making yummy noises with every bite. And the sax player they had entertaining was awesome! Honestly cant think of a single thing i would change about this perfect little spot! An absolute ‘must do’ when in Mendoza!

We had an early morning wine tasting at Andeluna and it was lovely. Their Blanc de Franc was our favourite, and the property is just gorgeous on a sunny day.

Lovely setting for an outdoor meal with wine tasting - close the vines with beautiful mountain views. The 4 course lunch was quite generous and delicious and the Chardonnay to accompany it was lovely but not outstanding. The service could have been a bit more attentive and informative.

This was my visit to Mendoza and Andeluna was incredible! My boyfriend and I booked the lunch and wine pairing. 6 delicious courses and wines were all very good. This is great for groups or couples! The winery is so beautiful on the inside and out. Very friendly staff and service.

Nice bodega in the heart of the Uco Valley. We booked a tour and subsequent lunch in the restaurant. The tour was good, although it was on a very high level. It was more about the bodega and the process of winemaking instead of the wine itself. The lunch was very good as well. We had the three courses menu with typical Argentinean dishes
Henrik — Google review
I fell in love with Andeluna, its spirit, wines and new concepts!
I had the opportunity to experience The Blend Game where I have created my own wine and "Tardecitas" with a delicious menu and pairing. I've had an amazing time. The location takes you to another dimension, it's just a matter of sitting in the gallery holding a glass of wine looking at the vineyards with the Andes in the background.
I will be back dear friends! Thank you!

We had a beautiful afternoon and evening watching the sun set over beautiful grape vines and mountains while we relaxed and enjoyed a steady stream of special treats - empanadas, cheeses, sandwiches, and finally flan - which magically appeared between our wanderings in the orchards. Our guide was kind, knowledgeable, and very relaxed as she taught us about the extensive wine making process at Andaluna. Truly magical

The views here are incredible and from a beauty standpoint, Andeluna is top notch. That being said, the food quality for the wine tasting lunch is far inferior to that of other wineries in the Mendoza area.

Lovely winery - would recommend for seeing a great “midsize” bodega. The seating and restaurant area have a wonderful view of the vineyards & huge Andes mountains. We had a 10am tour & enjoyed a cup of coffee on the couches when we arrived early. Informative tour with great English & tasty wine!
We had a tour and a wine tasting and it was amazing. (In English) One of the most beautiful bodegas we saw in Mendoza en the best service. It was interesting and unhurried. They helped us out with the taxi and many recommendations for the area. Also the Pulenta wine itself is amazing and they let you taste their star wines. Would 100% recommend and go back.

Amazing winery. Obviously the view is amazingly stunning. But more importantly the wines are good. We came without a reservation and luckily enough were offered a (private) tour and enjoyed it. They also have some vintage engines to be enjoyed by the connoisseurs ;). Rafa was amicable and really gave us all the info we wished to hear on this tour.

We visited for the second time in October 2021. The wines are excellent (among the very best produced in Argentina), the winery, the surrounding fields are beautifull, with superb views to the mountains, and the staff really warm and welcoming. The wine tasting, led with insight and charme by Ivan, the in house sommelier, is probably the best in Mendoza. Book early, as it fills quickly.

With a main building in Mayan style, this winery is known for its high-altitude Malbec.
We stopped by unexpectedly and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. We tasted their amazing Malbec. Our visit was complimented with access to the upper deck which offered incredible views and a brief but very fun visit to their cellar. This place is a must come back for us 😎🍷

Very nice experience. The building is unique and impressive. The tour explains the different kind of soils they have in their vineyards and the difference between the different altitudes etc. Leonardo, the guide, also gave a lot of insights on the wines, which tasted very good. Highly recommended

I had been looking forward to visiting this winery(bodega) and I am glad to have finally made it. The architecture of the building is Mayan and is definitely a sight to see. I did the wine and music tour and it was interesting and different than any other tour I have done. I could see how music can affect your taste after experiencing this. The wine is top notch and the facilities are incredible. You will need a reservation to get into the place. Also be aware when walking around and taking photos you will be asked if you need any help. If you are in Mendoza this is a must see winery.

I already visited several wineries arround the world. This winery is the most beautiful I ever visited. There people are very friendly and helpful. If you are a winelover, Catena-Zapata is a MUST.
Joel Rubim — Google review
The vineyard visit was amazing! The guide was very friendly and really took the time to explain the lovely history of the brand and how family plays a central role in everything. You really get to learn about and taste the difference in each of the malbecs they feature. The tour was informative as well as tasty as it also came with a degustation of local snacks that paired perfectly with the wine.
They now also have a restaurant close to la pirámide. It is a must visit not just for the delectable tasting menu but also for the beautiful architecture and the treasures it holds underneath. We opted for the smaller tasting menu and left full and satisfied. Bodega Catena Zapata should be a must on everyone’s list of places to visit!

A must visit in Mendoza! Welcoming Staff and amazing quality wines!
We were hosted by Carolina at "La Pirámide" Winery where we discover the Catena Wine Institute and the family history of pioneers.
Later on we had the fortune to visit the new feature of the family: Angélica Restaurant and the distillery where we tasted the unique Vermouth Vincenzo and the most delicious Grappa. Thanks Dani for showing us around!

We did the Wine and Music tour. The winery is beautiful and the view of the Andes is amazing. The wine tour was good. The wine and music tasting was fun, but I was expecting live music and the music was played from a speaker. The wines were tasty. Outside of the tour was staff was not very nice. Everywhere we went they asked us what we were doing and it felt like they were trying to push us out. Overall, more expensive than other experiences that give you a lot more.

Beautiful winery and surroundings. Wine tours here are generally more expensive than most other local vineyards - I did the Renaissance Malbec tour (8,500 Pesos). The guide was very friendly and informative, although I felt that I didn't get the value from the tour compared to the price.
Very good selection of wines, especially on the premium tour.

Bodegas Chandon offers a delightful experience with its beautifully manicured French garden, friendly staff, and a variety of activities to enjoy. Visitors can spend the whole day here, starting with a gourmet lunch or a picnic in the garden. The tour of the grounds is informative and engaging, followed by a fun tasting session featuring their delicious sparkling wines. Many recommend this place for its great reception, knowledgeable hosts, and excellent selection of wines.
What a surprising visit, great sparkling wine, great reception, great tasting, great host, and great selection, go visit you won't regret it

I expected better service. There was no availability at the restaurant and as overlanders we depend on various factors such as roads, whether and etc. They offered to serve a bottle outside in the garden but refused to allow us to take our peaches and the receptionists were sloppy and not friendly when we tried to make a reservation for Tuesday. Why not? Do groups have preference? I was disappointed 😣
beverly young — Google review
I am actually in shock at how poor this experience was.
I'll start by saying the grounds are perfect for a picnic bit that's were the positive ends.
We were a party of 9, 4 children and 5 adults for the picnic.
Firstly no glasses came for the water we were served.
The children's food came 15 minutes after the picnic box
The bread used for the sandwiches was so stale we had to use the water to wash it down
No more water came after the first bottle.
The desserts arrived, the fruit one contained old dry sponge.
Personally I would avoid like the plague and go visit one of the many vineyards for a 4 course meal for the same price.
I forgot to mention the staff dog that spent the entire time trying to eat our food...just terrible.

We arrived there at 4.30pm without a reservation hoping to be able to taste some of their wines on the terrace.
Our surprise came when we entered and were welcomed by some drunk Brazilian tourists making mess on their facilities. This is not at all the expectations that we had from the Chandon brand.

- Enjoy a gourmet lunch
- Picnic in the garden

Such an amazing experience! Started off with a picnic with friends, then a tour of the grounds then a fun tasting! I would highly recommend stopping here when in Mendoza. It’s a 500 ARG Paseo Uber drive to the Bodegas, but you will have to have them call a taxi for your return.

Bodega Ruca Malen is an incredible experience. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. My wife and I were visiting Mendoza from New York City, and we dropped in (no reservation!) for a 7-course lunch with wine pairings. Let me tell you, it was one of the best meals we have EVER had. Each course of the meal was exquisite, and the chef's choices were unique, well-prepared, and incredibly flavorful. We had 5 different wines (whites and reds), and each wine was lovely and perfectly paired with each course. Our server and sommelier were highly attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, and kept our wine glasses full throughout the nearly 3 hour meal. In addition, the bodega is located inside a sprawling and gorgeous vineyard, with the Andes mountains in the background. Much of the staff spoke both English and Spanish. If you are in Lujan de Cuyo, you absolutely must stop by for lunch. You will be talking about this meal for days. If I lived in the region, I would come here at least once a month!

メンドーサ近郊の、レストランが併設されたワイナリー。素晴らしかったです。建物やブドウ畑が綺麗で、とても気持ちよく食事ができました。
割と値は張りますが、それだけの価値があるワインと料理が楽しめます。コース料理でそれぞれのお皿に合わせたワインを提供してくれます。ワインボトルを買って帰れるのですな、レストランで飲んだワインが美味しすぎて、ついつい買いすぎました。

A winery with a restaurant near Mendoza. It was great. The buildings and vineyards were beautiful, and I was able to eat very comfortably.
Although the price is relatively high, you can enjoy wine and food that are worth it. They serve wines that match each course meal. You can buy a bottle of wine to take home.

We went there without a booking to see the property. Unlike many wineries that didn’t let us in without booking, not only they welcome us but also offered us a glass of wine, which was fantastic. The place is stunning and the staff super friendly. We bought several bottles of Malbec.

Great food with amazing views. Some of best food I‘ve ever eaten. Camila did a great job introducing all the ingredientes for every dish. Always professional and very attentive. The Wine, not so great. The Wine pairing menu for 8 courses, about £47 p/p. Expensive compared to other vineyards in the region. Would I do it again? Yes for the food, service and views.

Superb food and wine and all in all, a great way to spend an afternoon just outside of Mendoza.

Diana is precious! Such wonderful hospitality and very knowledgeable. We gave her tips about American wineries (California, Oregon, Washington, Finger Lakes region). She was so enthusiastic and inquisitive as were we about this area and history. Unfortunately we visited on Sovereignty Day and missed the restaurant being opened. However, very nice tour and tasting. Absolutely gorgeous property. The wine? Wow! Beautiful petit verdot and Cabernet franc. I have not personally had an Argentinian Pinot noir but I am now a huge fan. Thank you so much for a fun, beautiful, professional experience.

Couldn't ask for much more here. Great service, great wine pairings, amazing ambiance. Because it wasn't too hot, I sat outside watching the clouds roll over the Andes during the dining experience. 2 of the courses that preceeded the main courses were a tad underwhelming. I loved the shrimp dish, and the main dish (beef) was a slam dunk. Overall, superb. My only critique: there were essentially 3 small desserts served...I think it would have been very cool if one of them was a local cheese offering.
Ethan Sommer — Google review
Stopped by first thing in the morning with no reservation - Diana greeted us at the door and was an excellent host. We had the Centenario and took one home - excellent wine and value.
Would have loved to take more but needed to manage luggage capacity and shipping wasn’t an option.
Stop by - I think they prefer reservations - but worth the stop!
John Stevens — Google review
Would not recommend the 7 course lunch. Firstly and most notably from the lunch, I found a bug in one of my dishes and a hair in another. The staff never apologised or did anything to compensate for this. Overall the lunch is extremely overpriced for the quality of the food. Additionally, when trying to make a reservation I contacted the WhatsApp number as directed on the winery’s Instagram page. After messaging and calling serval times I never received a response. I had however read other reviews where people had simply showed up at the winery for lunch with no problems, so I decided to do this too. However upon arriving I was confronted by a staff member who told me I should have made a reservation in advance by contacting the WhatsApp number, but nonetheless I could be served but it would be rushed. The price was 110,000 pesos per person.
Adam Hamilton — Google review
The place is heaven on earth. The floor seems a thick green carpet, the view of the mountains (still snowy in November!) and the beautiful weather made us have an exquisite experience. Nevertheless the food (although 6 pasos) was scarce and the wine was somewhat short (less than a glass every step of the way) for the AR$1,500 we paid per person. If you are lucky you get a nice waiter that serves you a bit more. Overall we had a great time. Arrive early as 12pm to get a table outside if the weather is nice.
Casa Vigil, also known as El Enemigo, is a renowned winery in Mendoza owned by Catena and winemaker Alejandro Vigil. The establishment offers an exceptional experience with detailed property tours and exquisite 7-course wine-paired tasting dinners. Visitors praise the impeccable service provided by knowledgeable staff members such as Alexandra, Sol & Ana. The menu includes options for both meat-eaters and vegans, all of which are described as outstanding.
I am in Mendoza for vacations, I stop to this winery for a lunch today. Rodrigo and Daniel were my waitress, great service, very kind and friendly

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Casa Vigil, and I couldn't wait to share my glowing review! From start to finish, Daniela, Pablo, and especially Guadalupe provided unparalleled customer service that truly exceeded all expectations.
First and foremost, Guadalupe's warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for our entire visit. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our satisfaction made us feel like valued guests from the moment we stepped through the door.
Daniela and Pablo also deserve special recognition for their outstanding service. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our experience was nothing short of perfect. Their knowledge of the menu, coupled with their genuine enthusiasm for the cuisine, made our dining experience truly exceptional.
Not only was the customer service impeccable, but the food was also absolutely divine. Each dish was crafted with precision and care, showcasing the culinary mastery of the chefs at Casa Vigil.
Overall, I cannot recommend Casa Vigil highly enough. Whether you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience or simply seeking exceptional customer service, this is the place to be. Huge thanks to Daniela, Pablo, and especially Guadalupe for making our visit so memorable. We will most certainly be returning soon!

This place is a must go in Mendoza. For real! The food is out of this world. The service is amazing. They are very polite and work as a team. They have different option for menu. I tried 7 course menu which is pared with 6 different wine option (feel free to ask for more). They also have vegan options and let me tell you. They are as amazing as regular course. Price is on the upper side for Mendoza but worth every penny. Plus you get a tour at the winery before diner and get to know the beautiful history behind the Bodega El Enemigo. Reservation required ahead don't forget (super easy done online).

We’re not wine buffs, but this was a winery worth visiting. We got a nice tour of the grounds, including the interesting concept behind the name, and the curious artistic direction throughout the property. The food was great, and they even gave us a portion of ribs on the house to try, which was exceedingly generous. Wines were topped up if one’s stomach could fit it ;). It would be nice to sit in the garden in warm weather.

What an amazing experience you must try when visiting Mendoza. Beginning with a detailed tour of the property followed by an impeccable wine paired 7 course tasting dinner complimented by amazing service, the entire evening was fabulous. Alexandra, Sol & Ana gave us a remarkable experience from their service to the knowledge of the wine & the food. The portions were appropriately sized for 7 courses (with the exception of the braised ribs, which we didn’t mind at all having a large portion!!). All around 5 star experience which is why they are listed on the Michelin Guide.

My partner and I were really looking forward to having a great experience, it was good but not perfect.
We booked a 7 course menu and we were served a 10 course instead.
The reservation said that a tour was included in the price and I called before going to see if we needed to be there at a specific time (our dinner was at 21) and they said that we can just arrive at the reserved time. Unfortunately, no tour was given.
The food was very good, but because the restaurant has a Michelin star, we expected more.
The food relative to the expectations was unfortunately not always as hoped for and lacked taste. Some of the dished were extremely good, some others were ok.
We were served 9 glasses of wine. They were excellent, but couldn't finish them.
The service was very good (not giving 5 stars because of the tour).
We payed 262.000 pesos + tip.
Definetly not worth the price.

Informal hotel offering mountain views & a thermal spa, plus a buffet restaurant & free breakfast.
We couldn't book online - but lucky they had afternoon half day spots available that we were able to get via walk in. The front desk was super helpful and friendly. We loved our experience here - the different pools were really nice and the mud masque as well. The hot springs here seem way nicer than the public ones down the road.
Now the tricky thing was finding our way back - the front desk called cabs but about 40min wait so plan accordingly.

Did not stay overnight so I did not see the rooms, did a day pass....gave rooms 5 stars because I loved the place! The spa, the springs (thermal), the people, even the mud. Please don't miss the lunch buffet!!! Oh My God...5 stars! Try the "Mindfulness" program the hotel offers. Rodolfo is the guide/musician/facilitator for the day of mindfulness and has such a great energy. Love everything about this place.

A great environment to relax and take away the stress. The different pools allow your body to take off the stress. The mud bath smooths out skin like nothing else. The buffet is amazing with a great variety of foods. The scenery is great. Messages to finish the day were the best idea ever.

Lovely natural hot springs just outside of Mendoza. Would recommend staying overnight so you’re able to take advantage of the facilities for 2 days (you’re able to use the hot springs until 12.30pm on the day you check-out). Staff only spoke Spanish which was a bit of a challenge but they were friendly and accommodating. Food was also decent. Only disappointing aspects of the visit were the wifi (almost unusable) and the massage service which wasn’t very good.

We tried to make an online reservation with the hotel, but communication in Spanish nor English failed. They did not let us pay in cash. We tried tot call 40 times (not kidding), but they did not answer, or they answer and we tried to speak but they hang up or the line was in use. On email they replied after 2 days of having contact. I have never left a bad review, but the service for the price they ask is really bad. We are really disappointed, we tried to come to a solution but they would not compromise. Unfortunately we did not went to the spa, even though we have busy with the reservation for over a week.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Super fun and relaxing experience I would definitely recommend doing at least an afternoon at the spa

Visited the thermal spa for a half day as part of a package tour (Spa + Lunch + Rafting).
These hot springs are great, there are a couple of indoor ones and a lot of outdoor. They range in temperature from very hot to cold, (albeit the very hot ones are not crazy temperatures, you can walk in fairly easily).
The surrounding is incredible, being in the middle of the Andes - the outdoor warm pools are a great place to chill and enjoy what's around you.
Facilities seemed quite clean and staff were very helpful when we were there. The pool on the upper floor was pretty quiet so a good place to get away from the more crowded spa pools - however, despite a lot of people around it never felt too busy.
Rishi Bhabutta — Google review
The spa itself is pretty, but the services around it are absolutely awful. You can’t book a massage beforehand so we missed out on one despite calling. There are no drinks or bars anywhere to get a drink, the WiFi doesn’t work so getting a taxi etc is impossible. They don’t show you around the facilities.
The only thing that was good was the lunch although you also had to have it at a very specific time.

Beautiful spa within the mountains. The water is super cozy. Mud baths (or face wash) also fantastic. Feel rejuvenated after this one.

Absolutely loved our day long stay here. We came by minibus provided through our reservations. Spent the day in the many hot pools, enjoyed a massage and the mud bath, had a delicious lunch. Would definitely return!

We tried to book the spa and hike package for Friday since Monday. None of our credit cards work despite us booking several trips with them in Argentina. When we emailed and they said it was our problem and did not help at all. We said we can pay cash but no reply. Shocking customer service. Embarrassment to Argentina! They also put the price up overnight by $7,500 pesos.

Wonderful hot spring and super nice view. And mud/clay mask. I spent 3 hours there. Buy the ticket on the website. The staff are very nice to allow us to buy tickets on site since it was full on the website.

Unfortunately we couldn't enjoy it with my family because they don't answer the phone. We and other tourists couldn't find the place easily because doesn't have enough signs. They told us that "they don't have a phone". That the place was full but seems that they wanted us to keep begging for it. We didn't want to waste time because we only had 3 hours left to enjoy the area. We left and that was perfect because we had so much fun elsewhere.
Maite Barrenechea — Google review
The worst experience on our South America journey. We paid USD 450.- (!) for 9 persons but they mixed up the day. We arrived, and were told that it is impossible to enter as we arrived A day too late. Checking the mails we established that we asked for the 27th but they confirmed the 26th. It is true that we could have checked better but there we were, having travelled 12.000km from Europe to be at the spa. One would think that they would show SOME flexibility at 15:00 in the afternoon, but we were not allowed in, despite the fact that we offered to pay usd 450.- once again. Absolute zero flexibility!!

We went to the spring thermal pools which are delightful. The best thing about them is that it all blends with nature. Hope they will not ne intervened by men. The river flows along providing a relaxing melody.
The restaurant serves a wide variety of fresh food meats, fruit and goos wines.
More showers are barhdooms ars needed.

RP82 Km 38, M5549 Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina
Landscaped hot springs complex surrounded by mountains, with several pools, a slide & a restaurant.
1000 ARS per person, come in the morning at 10am when they open up before all the tour buses drop the locals and tourists here. Was here on a Thursday morning (around 11am) and there was already 100s of people here. We opted for this termas over the spa (8000 ars /pp) because the views were similar! We didn't worry too much about the people because we planned to leave after 2 hours of bathing.
What's cool here is there are picnic areas, you can bring meats to grill. There's about 4 pools under the tent, 6 pools outside. There are two water slides that bring you to a pool with a big fountain wrapped with a lazy river. And then there's also another 4-6 pools below.
Water ranges between 25-35 degrees Celsius. There's also a cold water plunge.
Apparently they have lockers for rent, but most people just leave their stuff by the pool. Do bring your own bathing suit, bathrobe (bring from your hotel or rent!), Towels, slippers...
If you forget, there are shops selling stuff outside.
If you are hungry, there's also a few restaurants facing right across. The cool thing about this place is you can go in and out of the termas. So if you're hungry, get a bite and go back to the pool.
They having changing rooms, bathrooms - but I didn't see any showers.

We were here in August, it was pretty cold outside. The temperature of the baths inside was okay, but outside was pretty cold. Plus, there were too many people. There is no place to lock your stuff, so you always have to keep a look at your bags to make sure it's not stolen. They need to install lockers at the very least.

The place is over crowded, no buck for deal. Definitely stay away if you can
Eunice Celeita — Google review
It certainly is true that the place is stunning, however we did not have a nice experience. The thermal pools were completely cluttered: there wasn’t a pool in which I could bath and not be touching someone. Apart from that, the whole place was overcrowded. The bathrooms, extra pools, etc. I think that the even worst part of this experience was that the thermal pools were not even hot. They were simply like any other normal pool.
Ema Dithurbide — Google review
The rooms were booked way in advance which meant either going to the water park or not going at all.
Be warned that people get there before the opening time and start getting in line. By 10am the place is quite full. You may rent a bathrobe in case you don't have a towel. The interesting part was purchasing meat cuts and barbecuing it outdoors.
Natalia Kodaratos — Google review
It's not worth the trip.
The advertisement is nicely done to promote a very horrible and overcrowded place. It's literally a pool for families with kids with low safety mesures and definitely NOT a spa.
The water is not just dirty. It's so filthy, and I really do not want to know what's all that white stuff swimming inside of it.
Tony — Google review
Our reservation said with transportation. It wasn’t included. This happened to a line of people who made a reservation. The women organizing buses let other customers on who didn’t have spa package before us, told us this shouldn’t have happened, and then laughed. An Uber was 3700 pesos when the shuttle was 4800 for two people. Should’ve taken an Uber instead of coordinating with rude people.
Alex Kuligowski — Google review
This place is overestimated. I would not recommend going here as even during the weeks day it’s super crowded and does not look appealing to get it in to that water full of people. As well entrance fee is 2000 pesos which is way too much for this place. So think twice before going. And avoid on weekends on holidays.
Plaza España is a vibrant and beautifully landscaped square that showcases extensive Spanish-style tiles, a magnificent fountain, and shaded benches. It is one of four parks located around the main square in Mendoza, each with their own unique architectural style, structure, materials and ambiance. A stroll through all four parks is highly recommended. Plaza España is renowned for its exquisite artistry and tranquility - it's the perfect place to relax outdoors without any organized activities or markets distracting from its beauty.
Incredibly green & peaceful park - great tile work

Beautiful place with very interesting story line about the things you will see.
Lago Del Parque General San Martin is a vast urban park in the heart of the city, spanning across 420 hectares. It boasts a stunning lake, scenic promenades adorned with statuary and a delightful rose garden perfect for relaxation. The park entrance features impressive gates forged for the Turkish Sultan and shipped from England.
Beautiful park, designed by the French architect and landscaper Carlos Thays. The interesting thing about the park is that it was built to improve the health of the time (epidemics of diphtheria, cholera, and measles) and also the park serves as an alluvial defense. I recommend renting a bicycle to explore it entirely, and enjoy the sunset from near the lake.
Manu Rivoir — Google review

The best place in Mendoza to go for a walk and relax! A vast park offers plenty of space for everybody, those who want yo experience and those who want to relax!
Many people use the park for training , while there are many different sports you can do through out all the park and there are those who just take their mate from home and go there to sea the sunset! Romantic spot in any case!

Beautiful park. It's clean, very well maintained, with plenty of relaxing areas to exercise or enjoy time with the family! You need more than one day to visit the fountain, lake, the Cerro de La Gloria monument, etc, so plan accordingly!
The impressive Army of the Andes Monument is a must-see in Mendoza. It's well worth the visit for its impressive scale and variety of statues and memorials. However, there are no signs explaining the different parts of the monument, so be prepared to do a little bit of research before you go.
We took a special tour which included sound and digital images projected on the monument.
Adriana Navarrete — Google review
I took the bus no 531 to the bottom of the hill and then walked all the way up. It's not a very difficult walk but the sun here is really burning so be prepared for that. There are also tour buses going up to the tip from the city center of Mendoza, but I really like to do stuff on my own. It should be on your list for Mendoza City but if you only have a couple of days here, there's prob more interesting stuff to do.

(Translated by Google) It is a small place that you can explore completely in a little while but full of history, a guide introduces you to the history by telling you what happened in the place, so that very care was used, recommended to know places linked to the great army of the Andes and the Argentine past.

The Caracoles de Villavicencio nature preserve offers a stunning route to admire the breathtaking scenery and natural beauty. Prior to embarking on this journey, it is advisable to inquire about road conditions at the Uspallata tourism office for any unexpected obstacles. The path can be traversed at a leisurely pace, providing ample opportunities to capture captivating photographs along the way.

(Translated by Google) It is worth it. Gravel road, but very good. Some places are a little scary because of the many curves and ravines. But the view and nature make up for it. There are birds, guanacos, zorros. I went at the end of August and some places had snow and guanacos drinking in the meltwater. You go up and at the top there is the Cruz de Paramillos. I highly recommend it, it is very beautiful to go towards Uspallata along this road.

Vale a pena. Estrada de cascalho, mas muito boa. Alguns lugares dá um pouco de receio pelo tanto de curvas e barrancos. Mas a vista e a natureza compensam. Tem pássaros, guanacos, zorros.

Recomendo muito, é muito lindo ir em direção à Uspallata por essa estrada.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic place! Quiet road for those traveling by motorbike, however, as the road has several very sharp curves and no visibility, coupled with the fact that the road is narrow, care must be taken.

(Translated by Google) The route is quick and simple with very easy access. The petroglyphs are visible to the naked eye, some closer than others, although there is not access to all of them. The rating I leave is due to the historical value that the place has since the information provided is only that of the signs (which is little) and the 2 guides who came to open the gate tell you where to go, where to go up, they write you down a list and nothing more. So they have absolutely nothing about guides or tourism. They stay inside a cabin there and that's it. There is no explanation of anything about what is there, I had to go to the internet (after leaving since there is no signal in the place). It's really a shame because there were 6 of us and instead of going and accompanying us to the place, they stayed there doing nothing because there was basically nothing to do. If the intention of those people is that "no one vandalizes the place" they don't fulfill it either because they didn't even see where we were or what we were doing since they were inside the cabin. 5 stars for the place, 0 stars for the "guides". Clearly Sergio was not up for better care.
(Original)
El recorrido es rápido y sencillo con acceso muy fácil. Los petroglifos están a simple vista, unos más cerca que otros aunque no hay acceso a todos ellos. La calificación que dejo es por el valor histórico que tiene el lugar ya que la información provista es solo la de los carteles (que es poca) y los 2 guías que vinieron a abrir la tranquera te indican dónde ir, dónde subir, te anotan en una lista y nada más. Así que de guías o de turismo no tienen absolutamente nada. Se quedan adentro de una cabaña que hay en el lugar y listo. No hay explicación de nada sobre lo que hay ahí, tuve que acudir a internet (luego de irme ya que no hay señal en el lugar). La verdad que una pena porque éramos 6 personas y en lugar de ir y acompañarnos hasta el lugar, se quedan ahí haciendo nada porque no hay nada para hacer básicamente. Si la intención de esas personas es que "nadie vandalice el lugar" tampoco lo cumplen porque ni vieron dónde estábamos o que hacíamos ya que estaban dentro de la cabaña. 5 estrellas por el lugar, 0 estrellas por los "guías". Claramente Sergio no estaba para una mejor atención.

(Translated by Google) If you like adventure tourism, this is ideal! We toured the mine outside and inside and there we rappelled down 30 meters to the second level. Our guide a genius, who guided us through the entire tour, gave us an insight into what life was like in the mine and answered all of our questions. Without a doubt, a highly recommended experience. Claustrophobic abstain because there are parts of the mine that you have to drag yourself since you don't enter standing up, especially the first level.

Si te gusta el turismo aventura, esto es ideal! Recorrimos la mina por fuera y por dentro y allí hicimos rappel en donde bajamos 30 mt al segundo nivel. Nuestro guía un genio, quien nos guió por toda la excursión, nos adentró en cómo era la vida en la mina y respondió a todas nuestras preguntas. Sin duda una experiencia super recomendable. Claustrofóbicos abstenerse pues hay partes en la mina que hay que arrastrarte ya que no se entra parado, especialmente el primer nivel.

(Translated by Google) You can get there by yourself. But it is advisable to have a guide, since it is dangerous in some sectors. The place is private but is not currently in mining activity. The internal route of the mines is interesting. I entered with a guide. I liked the experience.

Se puede llegar por uno mismo. Pero es aconsejable con guía, ya que es peligroso en algunos sectores. El lugar es privado pero no está en actividad minera actualmente. Es interesante el recorrido interno de las minas. Yo ingresé con guía. Me gustó la experiencia.

Una experiencia increíble. Muy interesante el recorrido dentro de la mina. El guía un capo absoluto, tanto en relación a su manejo del grupo y su seguridad, como también en sus explicaciones técnicas e históricas. El asado espectacular, sabroso y abundante. Recomendable, aunque no apto para flojos.

An incredible experience. The tour inside the mine is very interesting. He guides an absolute boss, both in relation to his management of the group and its safety, as well as in his technical and historical explanations. The spectacular roast, tasty and abundant. Recommended, although not suitable for the lazy.

(Translated by Google) We did the family excursion since I went with my son, the truth is that it is recommended... when you go up with the truck and pray 75 Our Fathers, the experience is worth it... the explanation is very good, we had Abel as a guide who He was super sweet understanding that I went with a child... he was very patient with us while we took photos and so on... RESERVE ON THE PAGE! Thus the guides are already equipped to satisfy your group needs... Don't look at photos, go! Completely worth it...
PS: we didn't find any Snow White dwarf, apparently they left a year ago

Hicimos la excursión familiar ya que fuí con mi hijo, la verdad que recomendable... ya cuando subís con la camioneta y rezas 75 padres nuestros, la experiencia vale la pena... la explicación es muy buena, nos tocó Abel de guía que fué super dulce entendiendo que fuí con un niño... nos tuvo toda la paciencia mientras sacábamos fotos y demás... RESERVEN EN LA PAGINA! Así los guías ya van equipados para poder satisfacer sus necesidades de grupo... No miren fotos, vayan! Completamente vale la pena...
Pd: no encontramos ningún enanito de blanca Nieves, aparentemente se fueron hace uno años

(Translated by Google) Not to be missed for those who like adventure tourism, a unique and unmissable experience. While we tour the mine the guide tells us its story and clears up doubts! Very good vibes 🤙👍 a good experience!! Super recommend. The road to the mines is dirt and at times it improves, so keep in mind. It's not dangerous at all. And on the way there is a little fox who comes to greet all the tourists 🤭🦊

(Translated by Google) The story is very interesting, the road is a bit rough, but exploring the mine tunnels is sensational, and Abel, poor...we killed him with questions, but he is a genius, super predisposed and with the best vibes, Paramillos is a visit Not to be missed for those who pass through Uspallata, 100% recommended!!!

La historia es muy interesante, un poco fulero el camino, pero recorrer los túneles de la mina es sensacional, y Abel, pobre...lo matamos a preguntas, pero un genio, super predispuesto y con la mejor onda, Paramillos es una visita imperdible para quienes pasan por Uspallata, 100% recomendable !!!

(Translated by Google) Very good experience. The guide explains very well. Follow the guides' van with your own vehicle to the mines. Nothing out of this world, it can be done by car. First you go to a mine that you explore from above and then you go on an excursion to another where you explore the inside with a helmet with a flashlight. It's worth it.
(Original)
Muy buena experiencia. El guía explica muy bien. Se sigue a la camioneta de los guías con vehículo propio hasta las minas. Nada de otro mundo, se puede hacer en auto. Primero se va a una mina que se la explora desde arriba y luego se hace la excursión a otra donde se la recorre por dentro con casco con linterna. Vale la pena.

(Translated by Google) It is an unmissable excursion if you are in Uspallata.
You have to book in advance, just sending them a WhatsApp is enough, they tell you the times and prices of the two excursions. You can also stay to eat since they have a grill menu (it must also be included in the reservation since they prepare everything based on who booked).
It all starts from the base where you follow the guide by vehicle to the base of the mines. Then you advance inside the guide's vehicle since it is a complicated road.
You will tour the Jesuit ruins and the guide explains the entire history of the place from the beginning. It is worth highlighting the humor and friendliness that this person handles, which makes the tour more fun and entertaining.
Then with helmets you enter the mine where you walk through the two levels that can be accessed.
It is without a doubt something incredible and unique. You have to bring a coat since it is cold inside.
We stayed to eat the complete barbecue, which is honestly one of the best things we have ever eaten in our lives, grilled over a wood fire with that characteristic homemade taste, fresh vegetables and some grilled potatoes that were a blast.
This trip is worth every penny, and even with food and everything, it is very cheap.

Es una excursión imperdible si estás en Uspallata.
Hay que reservar previamente, con mandarles un WhatsApp alcanza, te dicen los horarios y los valores de las dos excursiones. También podés quedarte a comer ya que tienen menú de parrilla (hay que incluirlo también en la reserva ya que preparan todo en base a quiénes reservaron).
Todo comienza desde la base donde uno sigue al guía en vehículo hasta la base de las minas. Luego se avanza dentro del vehículo del guía ya que es camino complicado.
Se recorrerá las ruinas jesuíticas y el guía explica toda la historia del lugar desde el inicio. Cabe destacar el humor y la simpatía que maneja esta persona que hace del recorrido más divertido y entretenido.
Luego con cascos se ingresa a la mina donde se recorren los dos niveles a los que se puede acceder.
Es sin dudas algo increíble y único. Hay que llevar un abrigo ya que adentro está fresco.
Nosotros nos quedamos a comer la parrillada completa que la verdad es de lo mejor que hemos comido en la vida, asado a la leña con ese gustito característico de lo casero, las verduras frescas y unas papas a la parrilla que eran una bomba.
Vale cada centavo esta travesía, que incluso con comida y todo, es baratísimo.
