  • Uco Valley - Nestled at the foothills of the Andes, Uco Valley is a premier wine-growing region where the high elevation and fertile soils produce some of Argentina’s most prestigious wines.

  • Cañón del Atuel - Take in the awe-inspiring sight of the Atuel Canyon, with its dramatic rock formations and turquoise waters. Visitors can enjoy rafting, kayaking, or simply take a scenic drive along the canyon’s rim. The vivid imagery of the landscape is reminiscent of abstract art, sculpted by the forces of nature over millions of years. Happytripz often recommends this location to those looking for a dose of thrill and natural beauty.

A day exploring the hot springs outside of Mendoza far exceeded my expectations. The tour operators organized a seamless trip, with comfortable transportation and a delightful picnic lunch. The springs themselves were a slice of heaven, and the serene atmosphere was the perfect antidote to a busy travel schedule.
