At the Canota Monument, you can relive the exact spot where San Martín divided his army to cross the Andes. The story comes to life in the mountains.
🌿A reserve that breathes
Villavicencio is more than a landscape: it is native flora, guanacos in freedom and paths that wind between silence and immensity.

From the Mirador de Uspallata, the mountain range reveals itself in all its grandeur. Here time stands still, and only now matters.

🎤Stories told by those who know them
A local guide accompanies you throughout the tour, revealing secrets, anecdotes and corners that don't appear on Google.

Villavicencio is the gateway to a different Mendoza.
It's ideal if you're short on time, but you're eager to take something more than just a view: an emotion, a story, a connection with the earth.

You feel that something has changed.
That not only did you get to know a place, but you got closer to the essence of Mendoza.
And that is not forgotten.
