This is a long trip from Mendoza capital, around 400 km (250 miles). Many people complete it in just one day, but I recommend splitting it into two days. This way, you'll have enough time to rest and enjoy the journey.  

Your starting point will be Mendoza capital,  if you did't rent a car yet 👇 I will give you an option.

Renting a car in Mendoza

Renting a car unlocks a world of possibilities for travelers seeking a more personalized and enriching experience, I always recommend renting a car, specially in places where isn't expensive at all. This will give you independice and will save you a lot of time.

I will recommend you my favorite car rental, Terzia. I have been renting cars with them since 2021, they pick me up at the airport or the bus terminal.
