Tour description

We invite you to discover the history and legacy of Mendoza through a fascinating tour of its founding area.

We'll begin at Plaza Pedro del Castillo , the heart of the colonial city, where you can breathe in the air of its origins. Then, we'll explore the imposing ruins of the Church of San Francisco , which was destroyed by the devastating earthquake of 1861.

We'll continue our journey through Plaza San Martín , where we'll explore the history of this iconic place, discovering its evolution over time. We'll admire the equestrian monument of General San Martín and highlight the Basilica of San Francisco, an architectural gem steeped in history and spirituality.

Finally, we'll explore the area's post-earthquake architecture until we reach a winery where we'll taste regional wine.

We look forward to seeing you!
