I recently completed two amazing trips with Posta Inca, and I can only give the highest recommendation to Cristian and his company! If ever a person was destined to be a trekking guide, it is Cristian. His enthusiasm and knowledge know no limits! I joined Posta Inca for the total solar eclipse tour. We were a large group with people of all ages and trekking abilities. Cristian and his colleagues took us to the perfect spot to view the eclipse in a secluded valley. All of the trip details were handled very professionally and with attention to detail. The following day I went on a day hike in the foothills outside of the capital of San Juan with Cristian and two other guests. Cristian led us up to the top of three different peaks. We shared mates, a delicious lunch and many laughs/stories at the tops of the peaks. Cristian taught us a lot about the flora, fauna and geology of the area. He answered all of our questions with a giant smile. Don’t hesitate to book a trip with Posta Inca when you visit San Juan! When I return to San Juan I will book a multi-day trek with Posta Inca for sure!

Excellent guided bike trip to 3 wineries and a local provisions supplier. Our bike guide was friendly, helpful and adaptable.

MY wife and I, along with another couple spent 4 amazing days in 2017 with Flor, Stephane and all the wonderful hosts. We spent days sightseeing, tasting wine and local food, horseback riding in the Andes and more! We brought home so much wine! The pricing on the wine and everything else was amazing. Each host was generous, helpful and sharing. We wanted so badly to stay longer, but we intend to return for more some day!

We were lucky to use Sak Wine & Travel for our transfers and both of our excursions in Mendoza. Our guide and driver for our stay was Damian. Damian was very friendly and always on time. His knowledge of the Mendoza region was great, we learnt so much whilst driving around. The excursions we did were Wineries with lunch in Luján de Cuyo and High Andes with trekking - highly recommend both.
