Activities and
Adventures
1) CULINARY ACTIVITIES
Wine is the eternal companion of food, so for food and
wine lovers we offer popular culinary activities such as cooking
classes and gastronomic walks. We can also help you make a reservation
in the best Mendocinean restaurants.
 FOOD
Food is an important part of the trip. You will enjoy
typical Mendocinean dishes and the nouveau Argentinean cuisine in both
well known and boutique restaurants. If the weather is nice, which is
often in Mendoza, a picnic will be perfect, and you won’t leave
without trying a real Argentinean asado (barbeque).
Mendocinean cuisine is
very similar to traditional Argentinean cuisine. Some of the most
delicious traditional dishes are empanadas (meat pies filled with
ground beef, chopped onions, boiled eggs, green olives, salt, pepper,
and chili), barbecued meat made with chimichurri sauce and grilled
vegetables and tableton Mendocino (a cookie-like sandwich filled with
dulce de leche) for dessert
.
Tour of the Central Market
A chef will take you on a tour of Mendoza’s famous
Central Market, where you will learn about the specialty shops that
are in the market. After touring the market (and maybe buying some
ingredients to prepare your delicious meal) you can attend an
interactive cooking workshop where you will taste the menu prepared at
the class accompanied by delicious Mendocinean wines.
 2) TANGO LESSONS
It takes two to tango... or so they say. Tango is a
beautiful, sensual, intimate dance. Are you interested in learning
some steps? Tango is a unique experience. We can arrange for
beginner, intermediate or advanced lessons, where you will
learn the smooth, gorgeous and elegant movements of the Tango.
3) ART & ARCHITECTURAL TOURS
Interested in art? We’ll take you on a tour of the most
prominent museums in the city and we’ll visit famous local artists,
where the artists themselves will give you a tour of their studio and
show you their beautiful masterpieces. We can also take you to local
art galleries, where you can get a glimpse at the striking paintings
and sculptures.
4) WINE TASTING LESSONS:
We organize Tasting classes with proffesional winemakers. This is a
very interesting programme since you get to learn from the vineyards
and the terroir to the wine once it is ready to be drank. This clasess
could take place either at your hotel or at very unique wine stores.
Adventures
With so much food and wine in our touring schedule, it is always nice
to include some fun activities. We
suggest the following.
 City Tour
We invite you to get to know the core of Mendoza. In this city
tour we'll take you to visit some museums,
the Area Fundacional, the main plazas (parks) in the
city, the downtown area, the picturesque
residential area known as "Quinta Sección".
We will also visit the magnificent park General San Martín, where
we'll go up De la Gloria Hill and visit the Greek theatre Frank Romero
Day, where the Vintage Festival takes place
every year.
Horseback riding
On your horse, you'll be able to reach the most beautiful areas with
amazing views, where you will take pictures
of unique scenery of the Andes and, if you
are lucky, you will be able to see some indigenous animals from our
fauna such as foxes, pumas, condors and
guanacos. Our horses are tame, well trained and in
great shape for this kind of excursion.
 White
Water Rafting
Mendoza is ideal for white water rafting, not only for experts but
also for beginners. You can go white water
rafting in the Mendoza river which is also great for kayaking and canoeing.
The Mendoza river is a category 3 river and its rapids reach category
4 and 5,depending on its water level and the season. The water level
is the highest during summer due to the
melting water coming from the mountains, reaching a
volume of 70-190 m3 per second in some areas.
During winter, the level lowers to 20 m3 per
second.
Trekking
Choose to go on trekking along energizing mountain paths and let the
beauty and tranquility of the Mendocinean
landscape delight you. Don't forget to bring your
camera to capture this unique experience and the
breath-taking sights you'll encounter on
your walk.
