What to do and see in Cuyo, Cuyo: The Best Photography Tours

June 8, 2021 Elouise Mccaul

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.

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!

Riding in the Andes is an unique experience full of flavor and culture. The immensity of the mountains is remarkable, thousands of kilometers of pristine nature where you can find native animals like Condors and Guanacos. You will be guided by local "Gauchos" and learn all about their culture and traditions. Also you will have the chance to try traditional Argentinian food cook over the fire with local ingredients. It is a very complete authentic experience that you can not miss if you come to Argentina

Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, Private transportation

Exclusions: Helmet and personal equipment

We did this activity about a year ago, but forgot to write a review. It's by looking back at our pictures of our trip to Argentina that we remembered to leave a positive review this great experience. We booked less than 12 hours in advance, but this was no problem for José to pick us up at our hotel, drive us two hours, guide us the entire day and provide us with breakfast and asado (Argentinan bbq) and then drive us back again to the hotel. Eventhough there was no one else to take the tour that day, that was no problem to do the full effort. Can only recommend!

"Pampa de Canota" is one of the most beautiful places to practice Mountain Bike in Mendoza. Still, it's a place difficult to arrive. The landscape is enormous and also dangerous if you don't know the place because there are no towns kilometers around. That is also the magic of this place. The nature trails, downhills of more than 20km long and the chance to meet the wildlife (guanacos, foxes, condor) turns this place in the ideal place to practice Mountain Bike in a conscious and responsible way.

Inclusions: Private transportation, Bike & Helmet, Gatorade / Powerade / Water, Asado (Barbecue), Ticket for the Nature Reserve Villavicencio, First Aid Kit, Repairment Tools Kit

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.
