Mendoza road trips unveil the stunning beauty of Argentina’s famed wine region through a captivating journey across its diverse landscapes. From the bustling streets of Mendoza city, travelers can drive through rolling vineyards, quaint towns, and reach the breathtaking Andes Mountains. The routes offer scenic vistas, opportunities to visit world-renowned wineries, and experience the local culture and cuisine. Whether it’s a drive along the wine route in the Uco Valley or exploring the historic Andean trails, each turn presents a new discovery, from hidden bodegas to panoramic mountain views.
The Mendoza itineraries built around a road, sorted by price. The first two are day drives out of the city; the last two are the long north and west runs.

Prices are per person, from, for the 2026 to 2027 season. Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed. Every itinerary is tailor-made and quoted individually.
West on Ruta 7 the Alta Montaña climbs to the Chilean border in a single day, through Potrerillos and Uspallata and past Puente del Inca. North on Ruta 40 is the long one: days of desert and vineyards all the way up to Salta. One is an excursion you come back from; the other is the whole trip.
Out through Potrerillos and Uspallata to Puente del Inca and the pass, with Aconcagua in view from the road. It is a long day out of the city and back, and it is the drive almost everyone means when they say road trip in Mendoza.
There and back
Mendoza to Salta is the classic north to south run: high desert, wine at both ends and very little in between. It only works as a one way, flying home from whichever end you finish at.
One way, flying back
Paso Los Libertadores sits above 3.000 metres and closes with snow, sometimes for days at a time between June and September. Any itinerary that crosses needs slack built into it.
Check before you commit
The walking those roads lead to is at Mendoza hiking and trekking, the northern end of Ruta 40 at Salta road trips, and the rest of the region at Mendoza tours.

Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how a Mendoza package is built.
Hotels selected and checked by our team; private transfers between airports, hotels and excursions; excursions with English-speaking local guides; tasting fees at the wineries listed in your itinerary, and park entrance fees where the route includes them; daily breakfast and the meals marked day by day; a local WhatsApp support line for the whole trip.
International flights to and from Argentina; travel insurance; meals not marked in the itinerary; personal expenses and gratuities; optional activities, which we price in writing beforehand. The Buenos Aires to Mendoza flight is quoted separately or included depending on the package, and your quote states which, with the amount, so the total is clear before you book.
The high Andes pass and the Aconcagua road close with snow in winter and after storms. When that happens we bring your Uco Valley or Luján de Cuyo day forward and keep the mountain for the next clear morning. Wherever the schedule allows, we rebook the highlight inside your trip at no extra cost.
