A beautiful experience

Margherita_B, Oct 2025

It is a very interesting hike through beautiful landscapes, but the distance from Mendoza makes it quite tiring to do in a single day.

Hacer todas las actividades posibles en el rio Athuel. Un lugar hermoso. Muy completo. No es necesario ninguna experiencia previa

Paisagens Deslumbrantes, mas viagem muito, muito Longa.

Vitor_N, Apr 2024

O Tour é repleto de paisagens deslumbrantes, tanto nas paradas, como no trajeto aos pontos, o que infelizmente é muito, muito longo e cansativo, talvez esses seja um dos ponto ruins deste passeio ficar muitas horas dentro de um ónibus para se descolocar para o Canyon e San Rafael. O outro ponto negativo talvez seja a parada na entrada do Dique, onde funciona um parque para esportes radicais, para quem quer fazer e pagar para isso, ficando meio sem opção se você não quiser aproveitar destas atividades, como nós que acabamos ficando em uma lanchonete comento empanadas e bebendo cerveja. Agora quanto as ao restante do tour e tudo muito bonito, desde o caminho ao topo Canyon, a visita externa a hidroelétrica, e até mesmo a parada para o lanche diurno e o noturno na estalagem rustica próximo de San Rafael, lugar que infelizmente somente passamos, e que poderia ser melhor visitado até mais que o parque sem graça. O guia Hugo foi prestativo, mas falava rápido demais, onde ele poderia dar uma desacelerada, mas de forma ampliada foi tudo bem, dentro do proposto, sinceramente até mais que imaginava ver.

Muy linda experiencia

Es un precioso paseo, creo que podrían hacer paradas en puntos de alucinante belleza por algunos minutos más, no solo para una foto. El paisaje es increíble y merece unos minutos de contemplación
