7 days, 6 nights · Mendoza · San Rafael

Mendoza

Mendoza, the capital of the province of the same name, lies at the foot of the impressive Aconcagua and is one of the most beautiful cities in Argentina, with shady avenues and many squares where people meet to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere. Plaza Independencia, the largest square in the heart of downtown, is surrounded by beautiful buildings and restaurants and is the perfect starting point to explore the center, while Plaza España stands out for its lovely tiles, fountain and statue. The huge General San Martín Park is the largest and most beautiful in the city, with tree-lined avenues, fountains, sculptures, gardens and a lake. Wine tastings and vineyard visits are the main activities for visitors, along with eating and drinking at the many wineries around the city. Relaxed yet lively, Mendoza, the land of sun and wine, is a charming place to visit.

San Rafael

San Rafael, in the south of the province of Mendoza, is an ideal gateway to Argentina's wine region and Andean landscapes. Smaller and quieter than the city of Mendoza, it has a relaxed atmosphere, tree-lined streets, traditional squares and sunny weather most of the year. It is the perfect starting point for outdoor adventures and vineyard visits. Just outside town, the Atuel Canyon is the main attraction: carved by the Atuel River, it features multicolored rock formations, turquoise waters and scenic viewpoints along a winding road, and it is a great place for rafting, kayaking and paddle boarding, for beginners and experienced adventurers alike. Nearby, Valle Grande, a wide reservoir surrounded by hills, is ideal for camping, picnics and water sports. San Rafael is also known for its vineyards, olive groves and orchards, with wineries ranging from small family cellars to modern estates offering tastings, tours and relaxed lunches paired with Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, as well as local olive oil, jams and chocolates. In town, life revolves around Plaza San Martín and the surrounding avenues, full of cafés, ice cream shops and restaurants serving hearty Argentine food.
