Today we had a wonderful tour with Runacay. They picked us up at our house with a giant 4wd. We had a lovely day. English spoken and some surprises on the road, highly recommended.

We went with Payunia Turismo (payuniaevt.com), they are great, they give you advice and recomendations helping you to fit any activity to your trip, they also give you some discount tickets for the city. To visit the reserve a guide it's required. We booked the whole day at Reserva La Payunia, they pick you up around 8:30 and you can expect to get back around 20:00. The whole route its on a bus with several stops, one of them for eating (because of pandemics you have to bring your own). There are only restrooms at the park rangers cabin, so make sure you take advantage of that. Bring a lot water , and enjoy the beautiful landscapes you won't regret any picture even the blurry ones. After the visit they take you for a free coffe to the Llano Blanco geopark, where you can hire a one hour walk by the mountain or just sit there and relax for a bit before get back to Malargue.

In the peak of the summer heat in Buenos Ares this Park is a sanctuary with its peaceful grounds, cool shady trees and virtually Quite yet close to the city and action. Beautiful biking and walking trails, lake, and birds. I had a full day of fun visiting the park, the added bonus a free wifi to stay In touch. Very nicely kept and super clean. The irrigation system is also based on old Inca methods.

Astonishing place, just 1 hour from Mendoza city, if you can go by car is better because you can freely choose between stops and the distances are far for walking. On the other hand you can take a bus (AR$81 by ticket) and hop off on the second stop (the first one after Cacheuta). The Dam itself its a marvelous lake with blue waters and high mountains you can see the Aconcagua from certain places.It becomes the perfect activity for a whole day, pack some food, beverages and a speaker if you want, invite some friends over and enjoy. Just be cautious of the sun there is no shading. Some spots has kayak and other rental activities for the day.

This is one of the must-do sites around Malargue. You need to book your tour the day before, and pre-pay part of it, at the tourist info centre in town. The road is paved most of the way, only the last 8 km are not but are driveable with any car. The view along the last 8 km is beautiful, up the desert, always higher and higher until you reach the ranger station. Once there there is a short 15 min. hike worth doing while waiting for the tour to start. You'll see local plants, bushes, and fossils. Beware that the tour inside the cave is not challenging but you should be fit enough to get on your knees a few times to go through the restricted passages, climb ladders, and be able to tolerate the deep silence and at times darkness. That being said it is an experience you will not regret!
