About this trip

The road to Chile is stunning to look at and fascinating to learn about.  Following the route that skirts the winding course of the Mendoza river, you will leave the countryside behind in order to enter the pre-mountain range area.

The first stop will be in Potrerillos, a small mountain town, with weekend residences belonging to the inhabitants of Mendoza. There is also an unbeatable view of the Potrerillos dam which forms a breathtaking artificial lake. The following section of the route leads to Uspallata, framed by mountainous landscapes with changing colors, filled with various geological formations and many tunnels on the road.
The trip continues towards several other small mountain towns, Polvaredas, Punta de Vacas, and Penitentes, until you reach Puente del Inca, a natural bridge where Las Cuevas river has drilled into the mountains forming this incredible natural attraction. Thermal water emerges from different areas and several pools are being used by the climbers as a free spa!
Close to the border, a wonderful viewpoint allows us to see the Aconcagua Mt in all its splendor, which stands at 6,962 meters ( 22,841 feet) above sea level. We´ll enter the stunning Horcones Lagoon and to the Provincial Park for a small walk and pictures.

The mountains in the Andes are the highest in the world outside of the Himalayas. On the way back we will discover the little and charming town of Uspallata, before driving along the Mendoza River on the way back to Mendoza city. 

This tour is really an amazing way to see and experience the spectacular wilderness areas of the Andes Mountains in Mendoza.

Loved our opportunity to experience Tannant at an award-winning, family run winery outside of Colonia. Overall an exceptional wine tour in Uruguay where our guide, Andrews, was both knowledgeable and dynamic. His friendly, chatty personality made the experience engaging and informative and we left knowing more about local winemaking and Uruguay itself. The wines paired with a gourmet lunch created a perfect half day for any wine enthusiast.

Damian organized a a fantastic Uco Valley wine tour with two unique winery visits. The lunch a third stop was delicious, and our guide, Miguel, was very knowledgeable about the area and winemaking process. A perfect experience to discover the secrets of Argentinian wine and family culture. Highly recommend this tour for both seasoned wine lovers and curious beginners.

We really enjoyed our trip with Borravino Wine Tours. We traveled with their team for three days and thoroughly enjoyed all three days. Agusta was an excellent driver and tour guide through Mendoza, especially since my wife and I were first-timers to the region. Each day, we did three wine tastings: two in the morning and one for lunch. We truly loved their regional expertise and would 100% work with them again when we return to Mendoza.

Damian did an outstanding job coordinating a two-day trip to Luján and Uco Valley in Mendoza for my sister and me. Listened to our interests and preferences and planned a splendid itinerary of tastings, tours and lunches. Augustin was a wonderful, engaging driver and guide. I highly recommend Borravino Wine Tours and Damian and his team. Cheers!
