Tour description
We invite you to discover the history and legacy of Mendoza through a fascinating tour of its founding area.
We will start at Plaza Pedro del Castillo, the heart of the colonial city, where you can breathe the air of its origins. Then, we will explore the imposing ruins of the Church of San Francisco that 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 will explore the post-earthquake architecture of the area until we reach a winery where we will taste regional wine.
We are waiting for you!
