Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
La visite commence à 8 heures du matin et nous venons vous chercher à votre auberge de Mendoza pour commencer l'excursion.
Vous traverserez les contreforts des Andes et ferez une pause au monument de Canota, érigé en 1935 en l'honneur du général José de San Martín. Cette région a joué un rôle central dans les combats de San Martín, car elle a servi de route à l'armée lors des campagnes de libération du Chili et de l'indépendance du Pérou.
Une fois dans l'ancien complexe hôtelier thermal de Villavicencio, profitez des jardins somptueux et verdoyants en visitant la charmante chapelle sur le terrain. La station, autrefois le lieu de prédilection des puissants et des riches, n'a pas été utilisée depuis des décennies, mais il y a toujours beaucoup d'intérêt ici, y compris les sources naturelles. Ici, nous ferons une visite à pied de ses jardins et visiterons le centre d'interprétation.
Vous aurez également l'occasion d'explorer le point de vue de Caracoles, niché au milieu d'un terrain accidenté, offrant des vues imprenables sur les montagnes environnantes et la réserve naturelle.
Après avoir profité de cette matinée, nous retournerons à nos hôtels de la ville.

I chose the walk through the history of this place, and I was able to understand the magnitude that it had at the time, the effort that should have meant its implementation, the conception with which it was created and the greatness of the final result. A thermal hotel IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE that must have been a luxury for its time. An oasis of civilization in the middle of the mountain desert.
We visit the reserve as part of the excursion to the area and the old way of snails via ripio that takes you to Uspallata and that continues to be used as an alternative way. We decided not to go in our car because it's road is ripe and ledge, you can travel but I recommend to go on an excursion unless you have a van. The reserve where the hotel is located is very wooded so in summer it is very refreshing. A local guide tells us the history of the hotel and it was extremely interesting. Admission must be paid in advance or when entering on the route there is a cabin, because as in any national or provincial reserve or park there are costs of care and park rangers. In the hotel area you can walk and tour the gardens and surrounding hills, do ziplining and other activities in the trees all with additional payment.
The best part of the experience was seeing several guanaco, even a small baby. The hotel is interesting on the outside but you can't go inside and that was a disappointment. The trip is overpriced for this reason and it didn't include the entrance fee to the hotel grounds. The guide was really great but I would have liked more history about the hotel itself and was really interested in seeing inside.
Dear Julie, We sincerely regret that your experience did not fully live up to your expectations and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Regarding access to the hotel, we understand your disappointment that you were unable to enter the interior. However, we would like to clarify that due to the restrictions of the venue itself, access to the interior of the hotel is not included in the tour itinerary, which is clearly detailed in the description of the service prior to purchase. As for the cost, this covers transportation, the expert guide and the visit to the points of interest within the established limits. We are pleased that you enjoyed seeing the guanacos and that the guide fulfilled his role in an outstanding manner. The guides on our tours are trained to offer an educational and enriching experience, focusing on the cultural and natural aspects of each destination. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and are pleased that you enjoyed the local wildlife. We remain at your disposal for any further questions or clarification. Best regards, Tangol Tours.
Beautiful reservation!! A spectacular landscape! Mixed with nature!! Pure air, above all very pure water!! There is an impressive peace! Very well explained by the guide, you pay 1km before the entrance at the 1st stop. You cannot enter the hotel but you can visit its surroundings, including the chapel and the hot springs. It has a very rich and accessible buffet.
Incredible experience that I would repeat a thousand times more! Without a doubt, Mendoza, one of the most beautiful provinces of our Argentina
It is a short excursion, if you go to Mendoza for more than 5 days, you can include it. It's not a big deal, other than visiting an old hotel that is closed to the public. Very few animals are seen among the mountains. It has a walking circuit with some heights but you won't get a great photo. I didn't dislike the experience but it is not a must in Mendoza.

It's a shame that the route is short... We didn't see any animals...but it's quiet, suitable for a picnic
We went on our own and it was worth it. You pay an entrance fee (we as retirees $2,500) and you can visit the grounds of the famous Villavicencio hotel, every 2 hours there are guides who tell the history (very interesting) of the hotel to the present day. You can visit the chapel and the different parks that make up the property, it is worth going. The landscapes are spectacular
We were 4 adults and a 2 year old bb. Beyond a small mishap when it comes to looking for us (very badly organized the search for passengers by hotels), I point out emphatically that it is the worst excursion of the five we made in Mendoza. It is very expensive ($11,300 including admission to the Hotel/Museum of Villavicencio) It is not a pleasant journey, except the snail road and it is not right that you should waste time buying a ticket in almost 1.30 hs stop. It is unnecessary, I could consider it the Enterprise as prior management. We went with Cepas Enterprise as a subcontractor to Be Experience Enterprise. The Hugo guide knew a lot about the whole area but I reiterate fondness for the cost benefit ratio. Apart from that, it deserves the terrible attention at the Hotel Museo. We knew nothing practically. Only the front of the hotel and the chapel. Nothing inside and the attention to drink something is unfortunate. Lousy. We wanted breakfast and it was not possible. In short, a tour that I recommend doing in your own vehicle or avoiding contracting with agency because it is wasted time and money.
We went on our own with a group of friends. It is a beautiful place to visit! There are different activities to perform, walks, zip line, tour the hotel outside, chapel, sit down for drinks in the hotel bar. The road to the hotel is very picturesque. It's worth this ride.
