The province of Mendoza enchants with its snow-capped peaks that, in summer, can also be seen in the immensity of the mountains. Valle de Uco, located 100 km south of the city of Mendoza, is one of the most emblematic destinations in the region and an unforgettable stop on the "Mendoza VanLife" route. This route, promoted by the provincial government, positions Mendoza as one of South America's best sustainable destinations for enjoying the outdoors. Valle de Uco is delimited by the towns of Tunuyán, Tupungato, and San Carlos. It combines nature, history, gastronomy, and memorable open-air experiences. One of the most emblematic sites is the Historical Manzano, a key point in General San Martín's crossing of the Andes. The region offers camping, trails, sport fishing, and the chance to enjoy the starry sky. You can walk on dirt roads, see centuries-old adobe houses, visit old town cinemas, craft fairs, and share a meal cooked over a fire with the locals. The "Return to the Homeland" monument invites you to learn not only the history of the place but also of the peoples liberated by the General. You can also visit the vineyards to learn about the wine-making process and enjoy tastings and lunches with views of the Andes.
