Mendoza Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Very enjoyable. Breathtaking sights. Great gaucho meal and hospitality

Truly a unique experience riding in the foothills of the Andes! José picked us up from our airbnb in the Uco Valley and drove us to his ranch. We were greeted by a few of his horses and fed them apples. While Jose got the horses ready, my friend and I sat under a beautiful tree by the river. Later José would cook us a delicious Asado and we would eat under that tree. We had a very sunny day and got to experience the Zonda wind on our ride. The views were stunning, the horses were calm and easy to ride. If you are looking for an experience that is truly authentic and not at all touristy, I would recommend!

Great experience! Beautiful ranch and horses, amazing views, delicious asado and great team! I would do again and again.

We are a group of 8 friends visiting Mendoza from the United States. We had an amazing time with Gaucho Estates on the sunset horseback ride.

This was the best experience I had while in Mendoza. The guys are super friendly and I felt safe the entire time. Not to mention, the views are absolutely stunning. A must-do!

Great!! Very capos the instructors. We flew 20 minutes and it was totally beautiful. In addition we climbed the arch hill by van and it was excellent

Full day trip worth every penny. Knowledgeable guide (Federico) who spoke Spanish at a speed I could understand and then repeated in English for my benefit. Stunning scenery. Sufficient time at each point of interest. Good value lunch at 20,000 ARS including a drink. No hesitation in recommending. Take something warm to wear it gets a little chilly. Take a water bottle and fill it up in the stream.

It was one of the best experiences and tours I have been on. Fantastic view all the time. A skilled guide who was good at informing, and a professional driver who drove safely.One of my best experiences. Beautiful view all the time. Professional guide and driver. A lot of good information during the trip.

Highly recommend! The trek along the mountains was gentle and beautiful. I had never ridden a horse before but they were great and kind teachers and I felt comfortable on the horse. The horses were calm and the ride was very peaceful. The dinner and then singing around the campfire at night was a great touch and felt very special.

This was such a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to everyone traveling in Mendoza! We were so impressed by the care and hospitality from Diego and the gauchos in this experience. They clearly take great care of the horses, and the evening dinner with a surprise singalong / guitar hangout by the fire was such a highlight. The terrain was beautiful and the 2 hours riding was the perfect amount of time to see the valley. Thank you to Diego and team for being a highlight of our trip!

Amazing day in the vast open space of the foothills of the Andes. The hosts was fantastic and the horse riding experience excellent. Only second time on a horse and the first for 50 years he made me feel safe and comfortable and tailored the ride to my capabilities. Excellent food in an ideal environment.

Our guide, Jose, made this experience so memorable for my family and me. He made us a delicious breakfast and the most plentiful lunch, lots of vegetables as well as the best steak I’ve ever had! His hospitality made this excursion one we will never forget. He was welcoming and patient with us not being very experienced horseback riders. His ranch had breathtaking views that are perfect for those who want to spend their days outdoors. His ranch has been in his family for four generations, expanding and refining while maintaining informality and intimacy. Strongly recommended!

Awesome experience! The guys were very punctual, professional and to the point. We had a few hours to kill before our flight and this was a perfect pick. Views were beautiful. Nice little Paragliding activity. Highly recommend

The walk was amazing, the group very nice. The guide named Esteban was able to give us all the information necessary for the trip and including part of the history of the Andes mountain range. Excellent guide

All I can say is that it was awesome👍 The whole team were great, from pick up in Mendoza to drop off back in Mendoza.I wish the paragliding could have gone on ‘forever’ as you were paragliding over the Andes and Mendoza, yeah it was a ‘birdseye view’ scenario and a huge wow 😮 for me.A huge thanks to Emiliano - top guy 👍 who was the pilot of my flight. Nice one ☝️I will be going back for another trip 5*, 10/10.Cheers Pete

It's an impressive 10-hour bus ride through the mountains with stops at interesting view points. Unfortunately our tour guide Laila did not speak English but she was creative and at every stop she asked a guide from a different tour to give us a short summary in English. It would have been nice if the company had provided a flyer with the basic information in English. Our guide was very caring about the travelers.
