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 will continue our journey at the Casa de San Martín Museum , an emblematic place that connects us with the figure of one of the great heroes of independence.

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!
