Wine Cellar's visit - The Wine Route - Mendoza by Night
Breakfast at the hotel. We'll make a trip across the Wine Route. This journey will allow us to walk among vineyards, learn how this delicious elixir is prepared from the beginning and enjoy a great "asado" together with 5 different kinds of wine to taste.
When the sun hides after the mountains, MENDOZA acquires a different physiognomy and the lights illuminate the deep darkness.
We`ll ascend the "Cerro de la Gloria" (Gloria's Hill) where we will enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the illuminated city. We'll go down until The Rosedal to observe the Yachts Lake, the 5 Continents fountain and "Los Portones", coming down from Emilio Civit Av. to the Center, their squares and Pedestrian Street.

High Mountain
Breakfast at the hotel. During the trip we can see the Potrerillos dike. 100 Kms (62 miles) away from the capital city we can find Uspallata, which is where the huarpe’s native occupation took place during the prehispanic era.
We’ll then visit the villages of Picheuta, Polvaredas and Punta de Vacas, from where we may reach the famous village of Los Penitentes. Farther on, in Puente del Inca, 2.720 meters over sea level, Las Cuevas river has drilled the mountain forming this way a natural bridge from where thermal water emerges from the edge. Nearby we can find the Mountain Climbers Cemetery.
Close to the frontier, a wonderful natural viewpoint allows us to see the Aconcagua Hill in all it’s splendor. An unpaved road which starts at the International Route, allows entering the beautiful Horcones Lagoon and the Provincial Park of Aconcagua. If weather helps, we will be able to climb up to Cristo Redentor Monument, 4.200 meters up. |
