The best experience - Excellent experience from start to finish. Hugo, a professional guide, made the day amazing. It provided the right information and very interesting, it was very friendly and attentive at all times, stops were made in the perfect places for the photo or just to appreciate the place. The itinerary was respected and we loved it! The Atuel Canyon and especially the Valle Grande were postcards. Absolutely enjoyable!

Beautiful experience - I came alone for the second time to Mendoza, I had already done the High Mountain tour in 2025 with Cepas and this tour I wanted to go to the Canyon of Atuel.
We traveled in a group with the guide Silvina and driver Matias. Silvi gave it a good vibe and humor, as well as having musicalized the trip and tour inside the Canyon (with music by Jaws and Indiana Jones), Mati got the 10 driving all day. They also told us how they were named some shapes that are seen in the tour.
Obviously we stopped a couple of times to appreciate the views that were spectacular. I come from a bustling city like Buenos Aires and had moments of tranquility with the sound of nature 🥲❤️
And important fact regarding the Big Valley, the water as seen in the photo, is seen in person. Same color, it's not AI, it's not editing, it's real. And that's what fascinates if you like this type of landscape.
Thank you Strains for the experience
