There is plenty to keep you busy in the surrounding areas of Mendoza, whether it is wine tasting, adventure sports, or taking in the local culture. Wine tours can be done on your own, however the roads are not well marked and it can be difficult to locate many of the vineyards. If you do head out on your own, you can rent a car from any of the major rental agencies (Hertz, Avis) in town. We also recommend picking up a copy of ‘Winemap Mendoza’ (enquire at the tourist office) to help you along. Since many of our tours are owner-operated, it may take a few days to receive a response while guides are on the road.
