About this experience
We want to offer something different and, at the same time, accessible to many visitors, as I also consider myself a traveler. Maybe you are only in Mendoza one day, so in a few hours we want you to know "La authentic Mendoza", which a real Mendocino can afford. You should try this experience.
We will pick you up at your place of residence within the "Gran Mendoza".
