Manzano Historico 1-day Hike in Valle de Uco, Mendoza

Are you looking for a scenic hiking route in the Andes? Then this day-outing is for you. Let’s go to Manzano Historico, in Mendoza’s Valle de Uco, Argentina!

The “Manzano Histórico” Natural and Cultural Reserve, at 42kms from the city of Tunuyán, is a perfect destination for trekking adventures. It is in the eastern section of “Cordón del Portillo”, part of the Front Range of the Andes.

Famous for its fabulous landscapes and the water quality of its streams, Manzano Historico also has historic appeal as General San Martín passed through these lands when he returned from the Liberation of South America Campaign.

After a 2-hour drive from Mendoza, we will start our hike through the Andes mountains. It will take us about 5 hours to explore this picturesque area and reach the amazing Cajon de los Arenales, a beautiful and historical spot!

On our way back we can stop at a vineyard in Valle de Uco, the Argentinian wine mecca!
