The 7 Best Scenic Drives in Cuyo, Cuyo

June 18, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Most Argentinean wine is produced in the mountainous Cuyo region, and visiting oenophiles rave about their experiences here. Whether you take a packaged tour of vineyards or explore on your own (some TripAdvisor travelers recommend renting a bike!), you’re sure to come home with amazing memories… and probably a new favorite Malbec.

El Camino de las 365 Curvas

Reviewed By Bezi - London, United Kingdom

This is the road that Darwin travelled on (there is a plaque by the road in memory of him). Passed Villavicencio the road is unpaved but in good condition. We saw very little traffic (which is a good thing) and what we did see were motorbikes. The road is very twisty and they call it the road of the year as it has 365 curves in it. Great scenery and you will see wildlife, we saw foxes, condors and loads of guanacos. Most traffic seems to go from Villavicenio to Upsalatta, I say this as we didn't meet any traffic coming the other way. Eventually to get to a look out point where the road splits and a section goes to the observatory. On a clear day you will get views of Aconcagua. There is the usual cross there and after that it is all downhill to Upsalatta. About half way down you hit (not great) tarmac again. Definitely worth doing if you have a car.

Ruta Nacional 150

Reviewed By pjenks1962

I was travelling on Route 150 on my way to a mine site for work. The geology is stunning. My co-workers I stopped at a small local deli in Las Flores for a sandwich. I wish I could remember the name. There were numerous laying on the grass in the hot sun to greet us. They hardly acknowledged our presence.

Paso de Aguas Negras

Reviewed By maizemiller2003 - Howick, South Africa

If you are looking for an exiting experience, drive over this Paso. In both directions, the views are fantastic. The colorful mountains are something not to be missed. Early morning drive from Argentina to Chile, and afternoon from Chile eastwards.
