Discover Mendoza’s desert region and connect with the native Huarpe communities through their history, landscapes, and traditions. An immersive cultural experience combining nature, ancestral knowledge, and local gastronomy.

Visit to Altos Limpios – HUARPE COMMUNITY – PVD

In this tour, you’ll discover the desert landscape of Mendoza and meet the native Huarpe communities. In the northern part of the province, in the department of Lavalle, you’ll learn about the ancestral culture and culinary traditions of the indigenous people. We’ll begin the day with an explanation about the region’s first inhabitants and then visit the Telteca Provincial Reserve, where we’ll explore the local flora and fauna.

Next, we’ll head to the Altos Limpios, an impressive landscape with dunes up to 20 meters high, perfect for sandboarding and taking photos. We’ll finish with a traditional meal at a local establishment, where we’ll share with the inhabitants of the indigenous villages and enjoy typical dishes like empanadas and “chivito a las llamas.” This experience connects with Mendoza’s history and its native people while contributing to water conservation.
