San Rafael and Atuel Canyon

What is this tour?

Explore one of the most amazing landscapes in the south of Mendoza:The Atuel Canyon. A journey through formations sculpted by millions of years of natural history, where geology becomes art.

During the trip, you will visit places that look like something out of a movie:The Hanging Gardens, the Rivadavia armchair, and many more. Each stop is a postcard. Every curve, a story.

More than a walk, it's an experience that connects you to the earth, to time... and to that feeling of being right where you needed to be.

🌄Because you didn't come to Mendoza to see “the typical”.
The Atuel Canyon is one of those secrets that many tourists miss. And when they find out... they wonder why they didn't do it before.
🚗Because the road is also part of the show.

👨‍🏫Because a passionate guide changes everything.
Looking is not the same as understanding. Our local guide reveals what few people know: the hidden story behind each formation.

This tour has something that leaves a mark. The comments say it, those who return feel it... and you'll understand it as soon as you start.
