- Regular Tour of the Villavicencio Reserve
One of the most fascinating excursions for those visiting the Mendoza region is a trip to the Villavicencio Protected Nature Reserve, a true ecological sanctuary that combines lush nature, history, and beautiful landscapes. Located in the foothills of the Andes, this protected area offers a rich and immersive experience, accompanied by a specialized guide who provides valuable information about the local fauna, flora, and geology.
Along the way, visitors can discover the iconic Hotel Villavicencio, a historic building surrounded by beautiful European-style gardens, reminiscent of the heyday of spa tourism in Argentina. Although it is now closed for lodging, the hotel remains an architectural and cultural landmark of the region. Nearby stands the charming Villavicencio Chapel, a small temple that complements the scenery with its tranquil and spiritual atmosphere.
The route to the reserve also includes the famous "Caracoles de Villavicencio," a winding stretch of mountain road with dozens of switchbacks that wind along the Andean slope. Besides the thrill of the journey, the route offers stunning views, a spectacle in itself.
At the top of the trail, a must-see stop is the viewpoint, which offers stunning panoramic views of the region, with the mountains in the background and the valley stretching into the distance. It's the perfect spot for photos and admiring nature in its purest form.
This tour offers a unique combination of adventure, history, and environmental contact—ideal for those who want to experience the natural and cultural richness of the Mendoza area in a guided and enriching way.
