Colonia del Sacramento Lighthouse, dating back to the 1850s, offers a historical journey with its staircase leading to the top and displays showcasing its past. The city's Plaza Mayor features various unique monuments such as the City Gate with an impressive drawbridge, the Street of Sighs offering a view of the sea, and the oldest church in Uruguay - Iglesia Matriz. Visitors are encouraged to allocate at least 4-5 hours to explore this charming city before catching their ferry.
we visited the lighthouse during our trip, and although we couldn’t go inside due to the long line and its midday closure, it was still a beautiful sight to see. One thing to note is that children under 8 aren’t allowed inside, which influenced our decision not to enter. Even so, the experience was enjoyable. The lighthouse stands as a stunning landmark surrounded by charming old buildings, which added to the historic and picturesque atmosphere of the area. Simply walking around and soaking in the views made it a worthwhile stop.

If you want to get a nice picture for the entire town, you have to get up there, and I am calling it the "Million Dollars View". The stairs are very steep, and they don't allow people wearing sandals in for safety reasons.

🏛️🏛️🏛️ A HISTORICAL LANDMARK. The lighthouse is the most prominent structure within the walled fort of Colonia del Sacramento. Built in the 1850s on the ruins of nunnery. The beacon of the lighthouse has been a guide to ships in the estuary of Rio Plata.
A ( — Google review
Walking through the cobblestone streets of Colonia del Sacramento feels like stepping into a time capsule. Every stone, every colonial facade, every old lantern seems to whisper stories of sailors, merchants, and cultures that crossed paths in this corner of Uruguay. And right in the heart of it all stands the lighthouse. The Colonia Lighthouse rises above the ruins of the old San Francisco Xavier convent, and from the top, you get a sweeping view of the city embracing the Rio de la plata river But the real magic isn’t just the lighthouse. It’s the walk. Heading downhill from the historic center toward the river, surrounded by whitewashed walls, blooming bougainvillea, and uneven stones, you feel something deeper. There’s a quiet energy, almost spiritual. The Río de la Plata appears at the end like a vast mirror, and you feel small but full. Recommendation: Take the walk in the late afternoon, when the sun begins to dip. The golden light on the stones and the river creates a magical atmosphere. And if you can, climb the lighthouse just before sunset. It’s a postcard moment you won’t forget.

Cool lighthouse 💡🏠 to stop by briefly. It looked really cool with the blue 🔵 sky and birds 🐦 flying in the background. Unfortunately, it was closed ⛔ when we went so we couldn't see the inside of it.

Nice old colonial town, there are a lot of bars and restaurants, you can climb the lighthouse, walk the original streets and spend easily half a day waiting perhaps for the ferry to Buenos Aires. The old town is situated just a few blocks away from the ferry and bus terminal.

The museum boasts a remarkable collection. While I intended to view all exhibits, the lights were unexpectedly extinguished, and we were asked to vacate the premises. They should be allowing visitors at least 15-20 minutes to complete their exploration once they have entered an exhibit area.

Awesome. Great for kids. A fantastic old school museum in a gorgeous building, more dinosaur bones and animal skeletons and taxidermy animals than anyone would ever need. Upstairs has more modern interactive exhibits, but the first floor is why you come. Truly a world class collection of dinosaurs on display. If you have kids, this will be the highlight of their week.

Catedral de La Plata

Mentioned on

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
Catedral de La Plata is an expansive neo-Gothic cathedral that can accommodate up to 7,000 people. Construction began in 1885 and the building was finally inaugurated in 1932, with the twin steeples completed much later in 1999. The design of the cathedral was inspired by medieval churches in Cologne and Amiens, featuring exquisite stained-glass windows, gargoyles, and polished granite floors.
The La Plata Cathedral is impressive from the outside. It is very tall, and you can see the entire building clearly from the plaza in front of it. Across the plaza, the municipal building adds to the overall atmosphere of the area. Inside, the dome is very high up and magnificently decorated. One thing that really stood out was the confession boxes. The woodwork there is very detailed and intricate. We have not seen anything like it before in a cathedral. There are also many colourful stained glass windows that are beautifully decorated. Overall, the cathedral is grand and welcoming. It is definitely worth a visit when you are in La Plata.
River A — Google review
The catedral is really nice and is open for everybody. If you want to visit the museo and the tower it costs 10$ per adult. The museum is underneath the church and they even have a small gift shop. The fime when I visited only the Jesus tower was open for visitors. You can go to two floors. With an elevator where a guy tells you important historical facts about the Catedral de la Plata. The view from the top floor over La Plata is nice.

You don't expect this kind of architecture in South America and you definitely don't expect a Cathedral with this level of detail to be made of brick. The design was incredible and the history behind the building is unique as well. The interior is just as grand as the exterior and has a holy aura to it. Definitely worth stopping in for a minimum of 30 minutes. The stain glass alone is worth it

4⭐️ for the building, 5🌟 for concert performance of I Puritani, 2⭐️ for the producers who reduced a great opera to a concert 👎👎👎 Indeed it is a very very very poor decision for reducing an Opera to a concert, no matter how good the orchestra and chorus are. AT THE PRICE CHARGED, BUENOS AIRES DESERVE A FULL OPERA!!!! Janet Pratt, who sang Elvira, is an OUTSTANDING OPERA SOPRANO 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗. She managed to act despite the concert setting. SHE IS ALSO VERY EMOTIVE IN HER SINGING…. WOW 👏👏👏👏👏 IT IS TOO BAD, Teatro Colon stifled / MUTED HER TALENT by this concert concept to showcase an opera…..REALLY REALLY BAD DECISION. 🏛️ Buenos Aires’ Teatro Colon is indeed one of the great opera houses in the world. .*** The building is a unique Ecclectic-Neoclassical architecture built at the turn of the 20th century. *** Acoustics is fantastic, the stage is large, the theatre is well designed. ISSUES: 👎 the boxes, meant for 4, is cramped with 6 seats 👎👎👎 the restrooms are very small, they need serious updating

Visited here as part of a guided tour. There aren’t many tours in English, and their timings didn’t suit my tight schedule, so I opted for a tour in Spanish. Although I couldn’t fully understand the narrative, I fully appreciated the stunning architecture, stained glass, statues etc. Everyone talks about the amazing acoustics, so the tour left me wanting to return to see a performance.

Buenos Aires's Teatro Colón is arguably the world's most spectacular opera house, offering an experience that transcends mere performance. Stepping inside, one is immediately enveloped by the stunning, opulent architecture - a lavish blend of Baroque, Renaissance, and academic styles featuring rich velvet, gold leaf, and vibrant frescoes that transport visitors to a bygone era of grandeur. However, the true marvel lies in its legendary acoustics, scientifically proven to be among the five best globally, ensuring that every note, from the softest whisper to the most powerful crescendo, reaches the audience with flawless clarity and balance. Attending any event here, whether opera, ballet, or classical concert, is a profoundly moving cultural rite that confirms the Colón's status as a beacon of artistic excellence and historical splendor.

Great experience for the theater built in 1908. I do recommend the tour if you have 1 hour to spend. It's a nice mix of history and time for taking pictures of different areas of the theater. This includes going into one of the balconies as well. I suggest purchasing tickets in advance. We walked up and had to get tickets that were for 2 hours later.

Absolutely breathtaking! The Teatro Colón is one of the most beautiful theaters I’ve ever visited.

This Theatre by far stands as one of the best architecture art in the world. The theatre is even better than that of Garnier Palace, of Paris in my opinion. From seating, to classic environment, acoustics and the artistic architecture of the stage and the balconies. The sealing is another wonder and the atmosphere was amazing. I would definitely put this one as one of the best and most beautiful theatre and definitely stands as one of the top 3 theaters in the

The english guided tour is hard to book from their official online site. So my wife and I just went to the theater to try our luck second time this morning, we got our tickets over the ticket office. I had my doubt since I had been in couple of top opera houses in Vienna, but It was worth it. The internal decor is fine with baroque style since there are architect from France. The present Colón replaced an original theatre which opened in 1857. During the tour we had chance to hear female soprano rehearsal for 5 minutes which is huge bonus as I see it, then I could hear clearly pure and beautiful sound at back of the theater. I really wish I could have a chance to listen to a real opera here.

Recoleta Cemetery

Cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Cementerio de la Recoleta, established in 1822, is a remarkable cemetery adorned with statues and mausoleums of prominent figures such as Eva Perón. Its intricate design and architectural styles ranging from art nouveau to neo-Gothic create a captivating maze of narrow passageways lined with decaying marble statuary.
Recoleta Cemetery is an impressive cemetery and definitely worth a visit. The entry fee is quite high though, but it is a place where you can easily spend a few hours. Eva Peron is located here and fairly easy to find with all the signposts. But its one of the least impressive mauseleums given the styles and sizes of many others. Its worth doing some reading beforehand about many of the famous mausoleums, some of the sad or eerie stories. It makes discovering them more special. You will want to find: - Rufina Cambaceres - Liliana Crociati de Szaszak - Juan (David) Alleno There are also many former Presidents in this cemetery.

A mixed bag, but more negatives than positives… ❌ Extremely overpriced unless you’re an Argentine citizen. There’s no free entry and it’s super expensive. ❌ The staff are some of the rudest least helpful people I’ve ever come across. ✅ It is an interesting place to look around, even though as a European most of the famous people were not famous to me. ❌ The state of some of the graves is disgusting, they are literally being used as rubbish dumps with empty paint cans and plastic bags dumped on top of coffins. I have no idea how they are spending the exorbitant entrance fees but it’s not on respecting the dead who are buried here.

I love visiting cemeteries when visiting large cities, as they give great insight into the history and culture of the people. This cemetery is spectacular. I joined an English guided tour with Victoria, who was engaging and funny, recounting both the stories and the folklore that had built up around some of the mausoleum. Absolutely fascinating. A great way to spend 2-3 hours.
David S — Google review
This is a must visit spot but I recommend getting a local guide as it is all rather meaningless with proper explanations. The mausoleums are a walk through the history of Argentina and of course you can see its most famous inhabitant - Eva Peron though her mausoleum is one of the least impressive of the lot. We spent a couple of hours here with a guide that we hired at the entrance.

We visited the Recoleta Cemetery and were truly amazed by how fascinating and beautiful it is. We had never seen anything like it before! Every tomb and monument has its own unique style, and walking through feels like exploring an open-air museum full of history and art. The atmosphere is peaceful yet impressive, and we were incredibly impressed by the details and architecture throughout. Definitely a must-see when visiting Buenos Aires!

A really unique place and well worth a visit. It feels more like an open-air museum than a cemetery, with amazing sculptures, grand tombs, and a lot of history. Many well-known figures are buried here, and there is a mix of old and some surprisingly modern designs. Some parts are quite run down though. A few tombs have been left to crumble and look half-collapsed, which is a bit sad to see. The entry fee for foreigners is ARS 18,000 per person, which is pretty steep for Argentina. Hopefully that money is being used to help with maintenance. Still, a memorable spot and a must-see if you are in Buenos Aires.

The cemetery is beautiful and the idea is great, but that there are different prices for equal humans is racist. The price for "foreigner" is 4x times higher then the normal price. Lots of construction with lots of yellow barks everywhere... Lots of rubbish in the Graves and around... Maybe someone should clean it for this entry fees. Bring lots of cash, cause they just accept cardpayment.... Which isn't progressive cause the ones from Europe don't work...

Recoleta Cemetery is a must-visit in Buenos Aires, offering a fascinating mix of history, art, and architecture. The elaborate mausoleums and intricate sculptures make it feel like an open-air museum rather than just a cemetery. It’s the final resting place of many notable figures, including Eva Perón, which adds to its historical significance. The entrance fee is around $17, which feels a bit steep for a cemetery, but if you appreciate history and architecture, it’s worth it. The layout is like a maze, so I’d recommend using a map or joining a guided tour to fully appreciate the stories behind the tombs. Overall, it’s a unique and hauntingly beautiful place, but the high entrance fee and occasional crowds knock it down a star.

What an absolute joke of a place. First of all: tickets are sold online & in person on the day. They have a functional website listing all their promotions & out of services rides. We traveled to the park on a Sunday 28/09/2025, 4 adults & 1 child, they had 3 rides out of order but the tickets to enter remained full price, supposedly they had a 3x2 tickets offer, which is an absolute joke as well- we paid for this promotion $65,600 ARG PESO cash for 2 adults & 1 child, their website states that the individual passport normally cost $28,700 plus service fee of roughly $6000 arg peso Long queue to purchase tickets, longer queue to enter & have your bags inspected as food & drinks are not permitted, you queue minimum of 90minutes to 2hrs for each game. We entered at 12pm & existed at 7pm but only managed to ride TWO games only, what an absolute joke & scam of locals hard earn money but also a sour taste for the tourist too (like myself) Different options available for food & drinks inside however all OVERPRICED & poor quality such as the empanadas we purchased- they listed a promotion of 3 empanadas plus 1 drink for $9500 ARG peso - total scam again! Toilets were clean & well maintained. Parking is available on the streets or paid parking too.

The time stood still here. Outdated theme park from the 90’s. You see a lack of maintenance. During our visit often an attraction stopped working. The park clearly needs to be renovated. Waiting lines were ok, but the variety in attractions is sad. Not a theme park as you would expect. Restaurant is a throwback to the 80’s. Considering that the entrance ticket is expensive, you should expect more or at least a good maintenance.

Temaikèn is a renowned biopark located in Escobar, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is owned by the Temaiken Foundation and offers a variety of attractions such as an aquarium, a 360-degree theater, and ample space for animals to move freely. The name 'Temaiken' originates from the Tehuelche words for 'land' and 'life', reflecting its reputation as the 'land of life'.
My favorite zoo in the world!! love it so much the bad reviews are insane! beautiful love all the exhibits walkways design it’s gorgeous! The tigers habitat is massive love the white tigers and cheetahs and pumas it’s amazing! highly recommend great for photos! open lush spaces where you see animals not bars and ugly cages! can’t wait to come back again!

The collection's design, encompassing avian, animal, and marine life exhibits, was truly exceptional. However, the $125 admission fee for two adults and one child was excessive, necessitating a four-star rating instead of five.
Levan M — Google review
I really enjoyed this park! We bought tickets one day before through the internet (check promotions, there are many good offers). The territory of the park is big and there are many things to see. It feels like animals have good conditions and bigger spaces than in regular zoos. You can see some rare animals here, for example, bengal tigers, yaguarete, pumas. There are many food zones, toilets and playgrounds around the park. The only disturbing moment is people, which don’t follow the rules and don’t respect animals or other guests. Smoking, taking pictures with flash, screaming and climbing in prohibited areas - such a shame.
Ann A — Google review
Beautiful place and animals, but there's still work to do. Some of the enclosures are missing the name of the animals and the park needs more cleaning. A park that looks abandoned is not a good park. It also needs some paint on the buildings thru the park. The employees are very nice overall and they have good security. The animals are amazing and unique! A clean park and good service will bring many more tourists from all over the countries!
Leonardo C — Google review
We bought tickets in advance. Take a look at their website because there are a lot of promotional discounts. I'd suggest to get both tickets and parking in advance. The park is very tidy and taken care of. Animals have a lot of space to move 'freely' (well, yeap, this is a grey issue). The aquarium is very good! Lots of species, including sharks. The Bengal tigers were definitely my favorite. There are 2 of them and it is very fun to see them interact. You can also see flamingos, monkeys, pelicans, ostriches, lemurs, bats, pumas, and lots of other species. There are a variety of food places all across the park. Although there is a sign that you should not go in with food or beverages, no one controls anything. Moreover, pretty much everyone goes in with food and beverages. The whole visit may take between 3 and 5 hours, depending on your own regulation of speed (and lunch) Bathrooms are OK. Overall, it was a very fine day and experience. I'd recommend it, especially with children.
Ramiro F — Google review
Spent there my sons birthday with family. Great experience. Very beautiful. Very inconvenient that the tickets can be purchased only online or by card. Cash is not accepted. And only fast food available in the park, so better take healthy snacks for kids with you.

It's a really nice zoo. Animals are well treated here and it usually has foundations that fight against animal trafficking. Some animals here are saved from this traffic. The bird park beside is also an excellent place to check out. It has several activities and is really worth visiting. Great for kids!!

We are animal lovers and quite critical about some zoos. After visiting most of them in the US and Europe, I must say we were very impressed with Tamiken. Everything looks great - from the sign when entering to the animals enclosures. We found the animals to be happy and active. They have large spaces to roam and be as close to nature as possible. The park itself is amazing, so nice and the themes and explanations are the best we ever saw. Very recommended!

Lots of cute animals strolling around the place. They have also guided tour every half an hour. The guides are friendly and helpful.

The Basilica de Luján is a stunning example of Gothic architecture that captivates visitors with its grandeur and intricate details. Construction began in the late 19th century, initiated by Father Jorge Maria Salvaire after receiving approval from the Archbishop of Buenos Aires. The project was led by French architect Ulderic Courtois, later joined by other talented architects who contributed to its majestic design.
A simply stunning basilica. It’s is so super clean and so beautiful inside. Tons of vendors outside but they are not going to bug you. The restaurants close to the basilica are super good, a bit high costs. If you can venture further out you should. If you drive parking is easy and ample. You pay with an app.

A very impressive place of worship, with a huge collection of Madonna-statues. You will be surrounded there by gift shops and restaurants that are not that heavenly, but that is the location. If you decide to calm down in the cathedral and pray, you will find out that it is a special place, despite all the marketing. In Argentina, catholicism is lived in an open, joyful manner. Give yourself the time needed to watch, listen, and to appreciate.

Casa Vigil, also known as El Enemigo, is a renowned winery in Mendoza owned by Catena and winemaker Alejandro Vigil. The establishment offers an exceptional experience with detailed property tours and exquisite 7-course wine-paired tasting dinners. Visitors praise the impeccable service provided by knowledgeable staff members such as Alexandra, Sol & Ana. The menu includes options for both meat-eaters and vegans, all of which are described as outstanding.
We did a tour of El Enemigo on April 16/25. What a beautiful place to visit! This winery is a testament to the hard work of Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena. The grounds are beyond beautiful... I kept thinking they should host weddings there... but that would take away from the serenity of the place. So much to see, including heaven and hell. And the wine! We really enjoyed our tastings. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and gracefully answered our many questions. We ended up purchasing several bottles..or cases (?) to bring back to Canada. We really enjoyed our experience there.

We visited this winery for lunch and wine tasting in March 2025 from the UK. The service, food and wine were all exemplary. They went completely out of their way to support me when I lost my passport, and even contacted the tourist police and liaised with them on my behalf. I cannot thank them enough and am incredibly grateful for their kindness and understanding. I can't wait to return in the future, and only wish I lived nearer! Highly recommend

Outside: -5/10 Inside the restaurant: 15/10 Outside review: We arrived at 11:20am for our 11:30am reservation. We were told to take a seat outside and wine would be served to us while we waited…sounds lovely. However 30 minutes later, no wine, no tour, no communication. 45 minutes later…still nothing. 1 hour later we hunted down the hostess to tell her we had a 3:30pm reservation 45 minutes away and we were now concerned we would be late for it as we didn’t want to rush a Michelin star lunch. She said she would tell the restaurant of our timing needs and sat us at the restaurant with no tour. We still don’t know what happened and why we waited for an hour in the cold… Inside (restaurant) review: Literally the opposite of outside. WOW WOW WOW. The food!! The service!!! Leo is the king. His hospitality is genuinely unmatched. He went above and beyond so many times. I unfortunately missed the Som’s name but he might be my favorite som I’ve encountered in life so far- so knowledgeable, so approachable, soooo good at describing wines visually and verbally. And his energy is muy muy tranquilo in the best way. I’m not a big flesh person in general but the rib was EXQUISITE. Leo also brought us a little side of the pasta which was delectable as well. And the deserts were the icing on the proverbial cake. 10/10 for food, 20/10 for service. One more note against the host — she said she would let the restaurant know we were on a tight timeline (that she made tight, not us 🙄) and she didn’t. We let Leo know and he moved heaven and earth to get us our desserts and check in time to not be too late, but I *know* he would have timed us perfectly if she told him like she said she would. She did him and us a disservice. Also, nothing was ever said about the missed tour or the hour-long wait to be seated, but holy smokes did the restaurant work to turn our experience around. They deserve all of the stars. Now if only they could train the staff outside to be at their level… TLDR: We were there 3.5 hours and they had to RUSH our dessert because the hostess didn’t do her job. For an expensive meal (that was *incredible*), it’s rather inexcusable. I will update this review if they reach out in any way.

Casa Vigil Mendoza felt more like a brand showroom since nothing is actually produced on-site. The visit was poorly organized and the tour was over in a flash. We tasted three wines and were given just two crackers with their olive oil. For 100 USD per person, it did not feel worth it, especially considering I visited other wineries in the area for half the price and enjoyed a much deeper, more engaging experience. Perhaps having lunch there during the tour, even at double the price, would have been a better choice.

One question: how does this place have a Michelin star??? Absolutely horrendous service and management. It’s a total tourist trap that’s not up to Michelin standards. I never leave reviews but this experience has compelled me to write this. Food wasn’t bad at all but it was way overpriced. We got our wine “pairings” an hour before each course came out. Is it normal to wait an hour between courses? Other tables took precedence over us, water refills were few and far between. The manager didn’t seem to care about making it right, only offered us to come back and try again. It’s one thing to suck but is another thing to suck and not attempt to make it right. Finally, we spoke to someone who was willing to take some accountability and apologize which was much appreciated. My wife and I will never recommend this place to anyone and specifically tell people to avoid it. We should have got a sandwich and bottle of wine from a kiosko instead.

We had a 3 course tasting with the 3 enemigos wine pairing for $130 each. The appetiser and main were amazing. The dessert was meh at best. I had the carpaccio and rib eye then the cheesecake. There is a sommelier on site to assist with your pairing or questions 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Parque General San Martín, the largest urban park in Mendoza, is a sprawling green sanctuary spanning over 400 hectares. It offers visitors a peaceful escape from the city with its lush landscapes, serene lakes, and charming rose gardens. The park is perfect for nature enthusiasts, outdoor lovers, and families looking to immerse themselves in natural beauty.
An absolutely amazing green space in the centre of Mendoza. The park is absolutely huge, you could spend hours here. The lake in the centre is a lovely place for a leisurely stroll. There are also several market stalls and food trucks dotted throughout the park. A wonderful place to spend a sunny afternoon.

Bodega Ruca Malen

Mentioned on 
 
Winery
Food & Drink
Wineries & Vineyards
Bodega Ruca Malen is a renowned Andean winery celebrated for its exquisite Malbec and offers guided tours, wine tastings, and a restaurant that prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant has earned accolades such as the 2014 Global Winner of Great Wine Capitals Best of Wine Tourism award. Its menu is thoughtfully curated to complement seasonal changes and is meticulously reviewed by knowledgeable staff.
I visited Argentina as part of a birthday trip that included a dozen wineries between here and Chile, and this one was by far my most magical experience out of all of them. I decided to purchase the 7-course lunch and wine pairing, and to say the entire experience was perfect would be an understatement. From the moment I parked and arrived, I was greeted at the door by a friendly hostess. She invited me to explore the grounds and take some photos while they prepared the dining area. They have a very nice outdoor seating area and I took advantage of it to sit and relax and soak up the views. After, the hostess came back out to guide my to my choice of seating, and I picked a lovely table for two by the window. Let me just say that EVERY SINGLE PLATE was phenomenal. My only regret is that I could not finish it all, and since I was driving, I also could not finish all of my wine. That being said, everything was exquisite. The meat was cooked exactly how I like it, the wine was all terrific and paired perfectly with the corresponding dish, and the service was flawless. Every plate and every wine was explained to me so I knew what I was getting, and I was so very appreciative that they ensured my water glass was always full so that I could drink plenty of water for a safe journey back home. The whole experience is advertised as lasting three hours and it definitely does! Honestly, I would have stayed for four or five hours if I didn't have to leave after everything was finished. All the above alone would have been enough to make this experience a memorable one. But it went way beyond that. Last year I lost my fiance, and this trip was originally meant to be our honeymoon trip. I decided to instead make the trip a birthday trip, and I had my fiance's stuffed lion with me as a companion in his memory. Some people think this is a little weird, but everyone here absolutely loved him. They allowed me to share his story with them, and they welcomed him as if he were with me in person. As a surprise at the end of it all, they brought me out a birthday cake and candle. It was extremely thoughtful, and it was, by far, the most memorable part of my entire trip. It was so touching and meant so very much to me that I was in tears (good tears!) by the time I was leaving. Special thanks to Lety and Diana and all the hard-working staff at Ruca Malen. They are all amazing and I wish I could have stayed longer and spend the evening drinking wine in their kind company. If you are planning a trip to Mendoza and want to ensure yourself a fabulous experience, then you MUST make it a point to visit this winery, and do the 7-course lunch. You will ensure yourself a very memorable experience, and even better if you don't need to drive after. I loved it, and I know that if I am ever back in Mendoza, this will be the very first place on my list to come back to. I cannot recommend it enough, and will always be grateful for the meaningful and unforgettable experience I had here. 🤩

For the number of reviews I read ahead of time, I was somewhat underwhelmed by my experience at Ruca Malen, but I would still give 5 stars for the food, wine, and ambiance. The food was flavorful and well presented. The location of Ruca Malen is beautiful and the indoor seating offered great views of the Andes and vineyards. Every member of the staff we encountered was friendly and welcoming. The wine pairings were great and well explained by servers. The price point is excellent for the amount of food and wine offered. A few minor details of the experience did not match the caliber I expected from the recent Michelin attention ie: the empanadas at our table were not hot, table settings were not spotless, and the meat was fatty. The pairings, sides, palate cleanser, and desserts were excellent and we had a great experience overall, but it lacked the wow factor for me.

Bodega Ruca Malen is an incredible experience. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. My wife and I were visiting Mendoza from New York City, and we dropped in (no reservation!) for a 7-course lunch with wine pairings. Let me tell you, it was one of the best meals we have EVER had. Each course of the meal was exquisite, and the chef's choices were unique, well-prepared, and incredibly flavorful. We had 5 different wines (whites and reds), and each wine was lovely and perfectly paired with each course. Our server and sommelier were highly attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, and kept our wine glasses full throughout the nearly 3 hour meal. In addition, the bodega is located inside a sprawling and gorgeous vineyard, with the Andes mountains in the background. Much of the staff spoke both English and Spanish. If you are in Lujan de Cuyo, you absolutely must stop by for lunch. You will be talking about this meal for days. If I lived in the region, I would come here at least once a month!

My husband and I visited Ruca Malen during our honeymoon and WOW was it amazing. Our tour guide Soledad had so much passion for the wines and encouraged us to discover our own passions for each wine, taste, and our own perfect setting for each wine. The capitulo tres malbec might be the best I've had in South America, if not all of the America's. This is a once in a lifetime experience! Muchisimas Gracias Sole!
Ashton A — Google review
The whole experience is a tourist trap. The tour is quite short, and it doesn't do justice to the work of the land. The meals are nothing special, resembling what a typical Argentine family eats daily: beef and salad. While the wines are decent, you're paying a very high price for mountain views. Overall, it doesn't offer good value compared to other wineries in the region. Sorry, folks, but using the 'Michelin-nominated' label doesn't translate to a quality experience.
Graciela P — Google review
A wonderful lunch. We were very impressed with the food and the wine pairing. The staff were exceptional and really did a fantastic job. The only problem was maybe it was too much food, but we were able to deal with it! Could not be happier with our lunch. Seriously good value for money. Our server, Leticia was just wonderful.
Graham D — Google review
The place is heaven on earth. The floor seems a thick green carpet, the view of the mountains (still snowy in November!) and the beautiful weather made us have an exquisite experience. Nevertheless the food (although 6 pasos) was scarce and the wine was somewhat short (less than a glass every step of the way) for the AR$1,500 we paid per person. If you are lucky you get a nice waiter that serves you a bit more. Overall we had a great time. Arrive early as 12pm to get a table outside if the weather is nice.

Diana is precious! Such wonderful hospitality and very knowledgeable. We gave her tips about American wineries (California, Oregon, Washington, Finger Lakes region). She was so enthusiastic and inquisitive as were we about this area and history. Unfortunately we visited on Sovereignty Day and missed the restaurant being opened. However, very nice tour and tasting. Absolutely gorgeous property. The wine? Wow! Beautiful petit verdot and Cabernet franc. I have not personally had an Argentinian Pinot noir but I am now a huge fan. Thank you so much for a fun, beautiful, professional experience.

The place is beautiful. It’s definetelly one greener part of the Cordilleras in Mendoza. On the way there you cross some “villas” one part of the great Mendoza where you see more poverty and trash. It was a surprise to get there and see the mountains so narrowed and green, the first part of the way they look little away. You may prepare yourself and bring your snacks, the “restaurant” there is very basic, you may also want to arrive early to participate in the activities. You pay a ticket to have access to the hotel which is like 3 usd, but the activities prices varys up to 20usd .

Espacio Salentein is a modern winery located in the UCO Valley, surrounded by stunning views of mountains and vineyards. The building itself is made of cast concrete and offers a unique setting for wine enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy an exquisite menu paired with fine wines while taking in the beautiful Andes scenery. The venue also hosts art events, musical shows, and even serves as a destination wedding location.
Great place but make sure you reserve first or else you're stuck with just walking the grounds. Amazing menu, it's an experience for the senses. Great food, wine acompanied by a beautiful view of the Andes, there's nothing like it. If you smoke, you can step out onto the porch and sit in the sofas-enjoy an incredible view, don't forget your wine glass. Great service and I recommend buying their wine glasses at the gift shop and the olive oil. 🫒

We arrived there just on time for lunch. We were on one of the first tables to be seated. After choosing our menu and getting our first plate we realized that all the other tables had gotten some bread with some type of sauce. They forgot about us and totally pretended not to see that (even when they came to take the plates). The food is really good! But nothing special at all. I’d expect something more elaborated for this price (10,500.00 per person). The second thing that got me intrigued is that there was a street dog roaming around the restaurant and the waiters pretended that it was something normal. The dog was full of fleas and totally not taken care of. None of the waiters took the dog away (you would expect a high level restaurant not to have street animals roaming between the tables). At some point the dog even jumped on my GF and got her blouse mud dirty. The third and last thing was that there was SO MUCH trash on the grass. Pieced of paper, plastic, cigarettes. It seems like no one has ever cleaned that up. In the end, I’d recommend you to take the tour but eat somewhere else (maybe even better for that price tag). I didn’t enjoy it at all.

My wife and I had a fabulous time on a private tour at Bodega Salentein. Our tour guide, Marcelo, made the experience memorable with his passionate and knowledgeable presentation, and we felt so very welcomed. The six wines we tried were all excellent and each at the top of its class. Our favorite was the Numina Gran Corte, which is a blend of malbec, cabernet, merlot, cab franc, and petit verdot. The Primus malbec 2015 was excellent as well. The tour normally takes 1.5 hours but we got along so well with Marcelo, it was well over 2 hours and we were still in tasting room when Marcelo finally was asked to move on. Just to demonstrate the tremendous hospitality this Bodega shows its visitors. Would love to re-visit next time we're in Mendoza.

Parque Provincial Aconcagua is a renowned natural area featuring mountains and archaeological sites, making it a popular destination for hiking and adventure sports. The park is home to Cerro Aconcagua, standing at 6962m (22,841ft) as the highest peak outside the Himalayas, attracting climbers from around the world. For non-climbers, there are opportunities to hike to base camps and rustic shelters below the permanent snow line.
Amazing hike up to Confluencia. The round trip was about 6 hours, allowing for stops for photos, drinks and snacks. The views of Aconcagua and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. You have to reserve a time online and then pay before you arrive. You check in before you set off as well as when you arrive at the Base camp. Wear sunscreen!

One of the best experiences I had in Argentina. I rented a car in Mendoza and I drove to the National Park. There you can park and walk towards the Cerro Aconcagua. There are plenty of routes for different hiking expertise but check because sometimes the are closed depending on the season. I get to the puente colgante and the views were stunning 😍

5 stars for the park - 1 star for the reservation / payment / access process The access procedure is soooo complicated but absolutely worth it!. Please make sure to preregister your visit on the Parque Aconcagua site. When you get to the main entrance you will need this in order to pay your entrance to the park. Once the payment is completed then you have to go to the office next door to show proof of payment where you will receive the ticket to access the park. Honestly, too many steps that could be combined in just one. If you are driving, you will be able to access the park for around 1 km, then you will have a 15 minute walk to the first lookout at about 3,000 meters. From here you have an amazing view of the Aconcagua. For those fit individuals, you can keep walking for another 45 minutes to another lookout / bridge.

Amazing landscape, you have to make a reservation in advance and check in when you arrive in the park but they provide you with a bag for garbage and some other useful information. Just be careful with the mean of transport if you're using the bus because they don't drop you off very close to the park entrance and you have to walk a few kilometers by the highway

Amazing park just on the east side of Andes mountains. The welcome center had very good and helpful information. The views are spectacular and breath taking. The hiking trails run for many kilometers and every step of the way was wonderful. Highly recommended you take extra water and a wind breaker because the winds sometimes can pick up. Fully enjoyed hiking here in view of the tallest mountain in South America.
