Local hotels, family homes and unique properties
At Mater we know that accommodation is much more than a place to sleep. It is an opportunity to experience the local culture. Because of this, our itineraries are designed to stay in local hotels and, whenever possible, have an experience in the family home.
The published price is in standard hotels, but we have options in superior and luxury category hotels. We work with inns, rooms, and charming hotels.
At Mater we always search for alternative activities to those usually chosen by large groups of tourists so that you can have more intimate and authentic experiences, without missing out on the most emblematic places in Argentina.
This tour gives you the opportunity to get to know Mendoza and its surroundings in the Cuyo region.High mountains, wine culture and rural traditions. You’ll discover the beauty of its landscapes and the local customs.
On top of our general sustainability policies (see here), there are some specific sustainable actions we take in this particular tour.
Our tour offer the opportunity to visit some wine cellars with environmentally sustainable production policies. Furthermore, our activities seek to respect the visited areas by going in small groups and favoring less visited places. For example, we visit Daniel’s ranch, where you’ll discover a local rural worker’s everyday life and learn about the authentic Argentinian mate ritual. Later, you’ll have the possibility to go horseback riding in the Cordillera de los Andes. Lastly, we offer the opportunity to lodge in Chacras del Coria, an Eco-Boutique Hotel in the outskirts of Mendoza.
The weather is dry, very cold during the winter (with frosts and snow in certain regions) and very warm in the summer. Rain is quite unusual and is concentrated in the summer (heavy rains and maybe hail). Temperatures between December and March are between 20ºC (68ºF) and 30ºC (86ºF). In winter you can go to the ski stations in the area, although it’s better to avoid this time of the year if you want to take a walk in the Aconcagua Park. Between July and September temperatures are frequently under 10ºC (50ºF).
The city of Mendoza has an airport with many direct flights from Buenos Aires, Salta or Córdoba.
Yes, it’s very safe.
In Mendoza, wine in all its varieties is definitely the main character: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Blends and others. the asado (Argentinian barbecue) is another fundamental piece of local gastronomic culture, and so are empanadas, tortillas, tamales and even pizzas. For sweets you should definitely try alfajores and ice cream!

Amazing weekend with friends. We spent our last weekend in Argentina in Mendoza and we really enjoyed it. We came to Buenos Aires to study but we ended up feeling like true argentinians, drinking mate with Daniel and getting to know the differents wines
I personally loved the day with Daniel, it was amazing. He and his family are so lovely. The wine-tour was very interesting and exclusive. We felt at home at all times
