The 10 Best Mountains in Cuyo, Cuyo

December 8, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

Most Argentinean wine is produced in the mountainous Cuyo region, and visiting oenophiles rave about their experiences here. Whether you take a packaged tour of vineyards or explore on your own (some TripAdvisor travelers recommend renting a bike!), you’re sure to come home with amazing memories… and probably a new favorite Malbec.

Paso de Aguas Negras

Reviewed By maizemiller2003 - Howick, South Africa

If you are looking for an exiting experience, drive over this Paso. In both directions, the views are fantastic. The colorful mountains are something not to be missed. Early morning drive from Argentina to Chile, and afternoon from Chile eastwards.
