Would you like to know part of the historic road that connected Mendoza and Chile for centuries? This wonderful tour offers the natural beauty of the Villavicencio Reserve, the archaeological heritage of the Paramillos mines in Uspallata, and the winding altitude of Mendoza’s mountains, with its 365 curves.

A full day to experience Mendoza‘s landscape, history and gastronomy. We will see a diversity of flora and fauna, so there will be encounters with guanacos, foxes, birds and perhaps we’ll get to spot condors flying overhead.

We will drive past the emblematic Villavicencio Hotel, and we will go up to Paramillos through the road of the 365 curves, with its high ridges and views of Mount Aconcagua. There will be plenty of photo stops to take postcardlike pictures.

Then we will be amazed by the archaeological heritage of the Paramillos mines. Can you imagine the history of mining ruins discovered more than 300 years ago?
