In the same area, Valle Grande invites you to enjoy rafting, hikes among natural cliffs and viewpoints that connect with the deep energy of southern Mendoza. The Borges Labyrinth, a cultural gem honoring the Argentine writer, sits among vineyards and literary memories. Further west, the Uco Valley showcases a map of world-class winemaking: Salentein, Zuccardi, Andeluna Cellars and Bodega Azul, all nestled within the renowned productive corridor linking Tunuyán and San Carlos, with a must-stop spot for lunch: the legendary Posada del Jamón. The Tupungato area crowns the region with open landscapes, high-altitude vineyards and the close presence of the Cordón del Plata. Further south, visitors can explore La Payunia, one of the largest volcanic regions on Earth, where black soil and red formations create a Mars-like terrain. Hundreds of volcanic cones shape this geological paradise. Near Malargüe, there is also a dinosaur interpretation center, where real fossils and interactive displays unveil Mendoza's prehistoric past. This entire universe is accessible from our base in Chacras de Coria, without needing to stay in multiple locations. A single decision that connects it all.

In the spring of 2023, I took this photo at Plaza de Mulas (4300m), the first official base camp on Mount Aconcagua. I hadn’t undergone any high-altitude pre-acclimatization and still managed to reach it without major altitude sickness symptoms. That said, climbing beyond this point without proper acclimatization is not advisable. What I experienced there is hard to put into words: the silence of the snow, the crunch of my steps, the sun hitting hard even though the cold was intense — such a paradox! — and the breath becoming thick, pure, and extremely dry. I felt small before the giant, yet also immensely alive. To anyone who makes it here, I recommend pausing, breathing deeply, and realizing that Aconcagua is not conquered — it is honored.
