We spent a day on a tour of this amazing area, neither words nor photos do justice to the awe-inspiring vistas - lava fields with snow-capped Mountains in the back, red calderas, it can't be described. We also saw wild guanacos, armadillos, choiques and cui, it was unbelievable. We were two adults and two kids aged 10 and 14 - I would say that for anyone younger this would not be a good idea as it is a very long day over often very bumpy roads.
We went with Karen Travel (our guide was Santiago) and while he knew alot about the area I have concerns about recommending him. He arrived 45 minutes late to collect us, and then picked up 3 other people, making it 8 people in a 7seater car. When I mentioned this meant not everyone had a seatbelt he shrugged it off, my 2 kids were squeezed in next to a stranger in the third row (so 3 people in 2 seats) which was uncomfortable all round. Adults and kids were the same price, but in effect the 10 year old had no seat. As soon as we stopped at our first destination I changed seats with the 3rd person, but the low side headroom meant that every time the car went over a bump I got a nasty hit on the side of the head from the handle. This got very tiring over the many hours. I know that in Argentina they can be quite lax with seatbelts/amount of people in cars - but this is a paid tour and unacceptable. While the croissants for morning tea were good, lunch was a warm ham cheese and mayonnaise roll, unappetising and a bit suspect. All the apples had holes. I would bring my own food and drinks.
On the way back, he drove at about 180km/hour over unsealed roads. It was a long drive back to town and we all felt unsafe. It was also supposed to finish at 8:30pm, it finished 2 hours before that but given what a long day it was and the scary drive I was glad that it did. The cost was 950 pesos per person, I'm not sure if this was the standard rate or not.
In short, I would unreservedly recommend the place, but see what other operators can take you there.

We went from Malargue to Caverna de las Brujas in a Regular Tour programmed for one of the 4 Tour operators that already work in Malargue. The guide was very good and he help us in all the route to Caverna de las Brujas. You need to dress comfortable and with good water proof jacket and pants. nothing else is needed, just the expectation to be surprised.

Beautiful new place, excellent guided tour, various shows.
For the guided tour there was only the two of use, but the guide was enthusiast, very well informed and kind.
The guided tour is free, you only have to pay if you want to see one/ore more of the shows.

I got to visit one evening in September 2014 as part of an IPC4 field trip. The speaker and video explained how the Observatory attempted to detect and answer questions about cosmic rays. My conclusion was that they detected far less than they were expecting too, cosmic rays originate in particular discrete parts of the universe and are incredibly high energy particles. The project cost around 50$M to set up and 1-2$M per year and will run for another 5 to 10 years. Very we'll funded and organised project. So what next? Is there a military application to attract this kind of funding from all those nations? We'll worth visiting if you are in Malargue.

Located at some 16 Mi. from Malargue City on Mendoza Province, Argentina, this rock formation was created from erosion, mainly by Glaciers. It looks like a huge Castle.
Apparently the name comes from the brothers Pincheira, thugs at service of the Spaniard Army who hidden there during the Argentine Independence war, (1811 to 1830).
Utensils and Arrow points from the indians Huarpe and Mapuche has been find around.

If Malargue is not enough for a visitor, the food, the accommodations and the welcome of the people, there is something that is going to get you out of this world, and that is Volcan Mala Cara, where you walk (literally walk) inside the volcano. The guide gives the group a very good description of how the volcanoes are "born" and then, how they "die". The sort of labyrinth in volcanic rocks tells you the rest. Need extra water, comfortable shoes and light jacket. Sun block recommended, and don't let the camera at the hotel, you are going to blame yourselves.

Visiting all the attractions around Malargue, and coming from Las Leñas, a few miles from there and right at the side of the road, you could observe another curious creation of mother nature. It is just a fast stop.
Due to the geological soft soil composition, the erosion has caused two circular depressions with a narrow separation in between.
Is guessed that through the years it will ended up being only one big one.
With an approximated diameter of 600 ft. and 300 ft. deep. Out of it 60 are covered by water.
One of the things to be observed is the change in the water color as the sun moves in the sky.
Their name comes from a legend of the local aborigines. The legend sustain than a group of warriors from other tribe in pursuit of the locals get trapped just when the depression happen, killing all of them. From then on, the dead warriors souls, cries on pain. That's what the name means in spanish; Souls Well or "Pozo de las Animas".

El lugar te recibe en un restaurant, donde se puede comer diversos platos. Comimos unas empanadas muy ricas. Los chicos/as que atienden el lugar son muy amigables y excelentes guías para explicar las características geológicas del lugar.
Para acceder a las 2 cascadas, se abonan 120 pesos.
Se pueden recorrer 2 caminos. Uno se puede hacer solos, y el otro se hace acompañado, ya que incluye la explicación sobre el terreno. Nuestro guía fue Matias, que realmente fue un placer escucharlo. Sin dudas uno aprende. Se llega hasta abajo de la cascada, es muy lindo el paseo, la dificultad es baja y el recorrido es corto.
