Circuits, hotels, excursions and transfers in Mendoza.
Mendoza is Argentina's principal wine region, at the foot of the Andes, and the gateway to the high mountains, including the approach to Aconcagua. Its core is the wineries of Luján de Cuyo, Maipú and the Uco Valley, with tastings, elevated gastronomy and wine tourism at different levels. It combines wine culture with Andean scenery and adventure activities.
Autumn (March–May) coincides with the harvest and offers vineyards in colour, the signature season. Summer is warm and dry, ideal for mountain activities; spring is pleasant for tastings. Winter is cooler and quieter, with the snow-capped range as a backdrop.
Mendoza suits small and mid-sized incentive groups and meetings, with wineries and hotels offering private-event spaces. Its strength lies in exclusive wine tourism rather than large congresses.
Signature experiences include winery privatisations, tastings with winemakers, paired lunches among the vines, and high-mountain days with views of Aconcagua. The blend of wine, gastronomy and Andean scenery supports high-end incentive programmes.
Served by El Plumerillo airport (MDZ), with connections from Buenos Aires-Aeroparque and regional flights. The Luján de Cuyo and Maipú areas are close to the city, while the Uco Valley requires roughly one to two hours' transfer. It is also the starting point for the overland crossing to Chile towards Santiago.
Budget two to three nights to cover the three winery areas comfortably. It combines with Buenos Aires and cross-border with Santiago de Chile by air or road. Good fit for wine-tourism, gastronomy and luxury programmes for international markets.
Recommended stay: 2–3 nights.

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the agency portal.
Most bookings are confirmed immediately and the voucher is emailed within minutes. When a service shows “In process”, RUMBO LIBRE is confirming final availability with the receptive operator at destination — usually within 24 to 48 business hours.
Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those confirmed in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a supplier applies its own policy.
Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed with the receptive operator subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
