Excellent excursion
We did this excursion on 07/08, very nice! We had Caro as a coordinator, you can tell she really likes what she does, excellent explanation, polite, kind, and super punctual.
Brian was the driver, excellent. The convenience of having them pick you up/drop you off at your accommodation's door is perfect!
Highly recommended.

The landscape is stunning!
This tour is short and allows you to schedule more activities on the same day! It is an excellent opportunity to know a bit of the history of Mendoza and to know an amazing place that reminds us of a “Mendoncino” past that I believe has been glorious! I want to thank Our Guide Ana for so much dedication and our driver Marcelo who took us and brought us safely! Congratulations to the entire team!

Hello.
The tour was interesting, mto guide polite and cordial. Good mto driver.
But when I hired, I didn't know I'd have to pay 26,500 more than the 50,000 I had already paid.
I think it's important that these things get clear, because summing up everything is 76.500 for a half-day walk, I don't think it was worth it

Olá Michelle! Ficamos muito felizes que você tenha gostado do passeio!
Toda a equipe da Cepas espera vê-la em breve em Mendoza.

GET TO KNOW VILLAVICENCIO
Hey, hi. The experience of Villavicencio very enriching and to learn much, more to make people aware of the water care mainly, and then about the flora and fauna of the place.
Very cute, on each excursion I highlight the treatment of all the people who work as guides, coordinators and other staff working, everyone treats you very kindly as if they know you for a long time.
Really a very good tour to go, have lunch and stay in the garden of the hotel of Villavicencio to take some pictures and take mates.
Excellent
