Itinerary

Upon arrival in Mendoza, either at the bus station or at the airport, our team will be waiting for you to transfer you to your selected hotel. This day will be to rest from the trip and get ready for what is to come!

Early in the morning, a driver and an accompanying SAK guide will pick you up at the lodge to head southwest, on the way to Potrerillos Lake, about 45 minutes from Mendoza City. There the whole family will enjoy an exciting rafting experience on the Andes rapids for approximately 1 hour (12 km), with rapids of level 3/3+. Once you have finished rafting down the river, you will have free time to buy lunch at the buffet inn, located at the foot of the Cordón del Plata and next to the Mendoza River. The unforgettable scenery will be the necessary calm to get ready again to live the adrenaline of the Canopy with 6 sections, at heights of 30 to 80 meters above the Mendoza River. In the afternoon, you will return to the city of Mendoza. We recommend this excursion from October to May.

On the third day of your trip, we will pick up the whole family and head to the mountains. An ideal excursion to leave the noise of the city behind and be part of Mendoza's landscapes. Our tour will start early in the morning and we will arrive at the stables, where all the equipment and the best guidance of our specialized guides will be waiting for us. In this outing, we will be able to connect with the biodiversity of Mendoza's foothills. We will learn about its Andean flora and fauna, local customs and traditions. By midday, we will enjoy a picnic lunch with some local varietals and return to the hotel.

This day is a must if you visit Mendoza with your family. Cycling through the vineyards is a fun excursion for everyone. With the accompaniment of a specialized guide and all the necessary equipment, we will be able to feel the mountain wind in our face, as we ride through the vineyards and the most impressive landscapes of Mendoza. At each stop of the tour, we will be able to taste different varietals and learn about the cultivation methods and the ancient irrigation system that characterizes our province. The day ends with a gourmet lunch paired with exceptional wines, to toast with the family for this fun ride.

Depending on the departure time you inform us, our team will accompany you to the airport or bus station. Return soon!

What do you need for this tour?

Essential items

We suggest you to bring these items for personal use to make your excursion perfect:

Small backpack.
Extra mineral water.

Special clothing: comfortable clothing appropriate to the weather forecast and footwear suitable for the activity.

Safety tips: Inform the guide or driver about any illness, allergy or physical restriction. Remember to bring your medication and administration instructions.
