Greg
Asked on November 26th, 2023What hotels do we stay in?
Explore!Operator•Written November 2023On this trip we use really well located hotels that are perfect for exploring this stunning landscape. The Hotel Acrux, in Barreal, is quite small, and we use a mixture twin rooms and 'apartments'. These are made up of two twin rooms, together with a bathroom and a living room area. So if you're in one of the apartments, you may be sharing a bathroom with another two travellers.

Asked on March 27th, 2022I'm interested in booking this tour for October 2022. I'm a little confused though-it says it goes from Santiago to Buenos Aires but in the description it says it starts in Buenos Aires. Can you clarify this please?
- Explore!Operator•Written March 2022
Arrive in Mendoza, the heart of Argentina's wine country, located in the shadow of the mighty Andes. There are no activities planned today, so you are free to arrive in Mendoza at any time. If you would like to receive a complimentary airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive into Governor Francisco Gabrielli International Airport (airport code MDZ), a 20 minute drive from our hotel.
