Overview
Discover a quieter, wilder side of Mendoza on a private journey along historic Route 52, through Villavicencio Natural Reserve and the Andean foothills.
The experience is about the journey itself: winding mountain roads, panoramic viewpoints, local history, and landscapes far from Mendoza’s busiest routes.
As we cross the reserve, guanaco sightings are common, and you may also spot condors, foxes, choiques, and other native wildlife. We take time for views, photos, wildlife, and stories along the way.
Travel through Caracoles, Cruz de Paramillos, and the Paramillos area, with stops adapted to road and access conditions.
Because this is a fully private experience, you can enjoy the journey at a personal rhythm, without large groups or crowded buses.
Finish in Uspallata with a traditional Argentine asado, wine, and dessert before returning to Mendoza.
A scenic day for travelers who enjoy wildlife, photography, history, and quiet mountain roads.
