First it looks pretty little town, with ´center managable on foot in 30 minutes. Then you discover that is so much more then the town. Vineries or Bodegas are everywhere around the city, with possibilities of giving turists a short peep talk about process of making wine and then the best part comes with wine tasting. There is also lots of chocolate and olives, which make the same show... I was actually surprised, when I booked the tasting tour... for 45 pesos argentinos (9 euros), we got a trip to 2 bodegas (5 samples of wine), one liquer private company (1 liquer to taste) and olive oil making company (tasting of 3 different olive oils on bread, and dried tomatoes and picked eggplant on bread). It was quite an interesting afternoon for small price.
But then the next tour, that takes your breath away is trip to Alta Montania. The high mountain tour.. the bus takes you to the Andes for 200 km ride one way in the mountains, right to the Chilean border. You can see Aconcagua from the bottom (and still far away, but it is impressive). You can see snow, deserted little places for winter skiing season (town, village or any description would be exagurating). Mountains take your breath away....
and the funny interesting fact is, that to ACONCAGUA top peak, there are 2 Slovenian routes! I was quite proud on our little nation, to make a mark on the map:)
Chilean border... we explored the customs procedure the next day.... 1 hour of burocracy....They should invent the ´Schengen` border for less complications:)
