Como aplicar al formulario ESTA para ingresar a EEUU – Pasaportes europeos

Si tenés pasaporte europeo y estas viajando a los Estados Unidos debés aplicar al ESTA que es una suerte de VISA online que cuesta a precio de fecha de este post 16/09/2024 USD 21 para poder permanecer hasta 90 días consecutivos dentro de los EEUU por cada ingreso y tiene una vigencia de 2 años o hasta el vencimiento de tu pasaporte si vence en menos de 2 años.

Existen multiples páginas para aplicar al ESTA que no son oficiales y te pueden costar muchísimo más! Para no caer en esta suerte de estafas queremos explicarte todo el proceso para poder aplicar de forma correcta!
Vamos!

1. Ingresar desde el link correcto!

El link correcto del sitio oficial del ESTA es el siguiente: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/?forceNav=true. 

Si pones en google ESTA te van a aparecer varios links pero muchos de ellos son de gestores de ESTA que cobran hasta 100 dólares por pedirte exactamente la misma información que pondrías en el sitio oficial, no tiene sentido!
No es una estafa porque al fin y al cabo te dan la ESTA pero estas pagando muchísimo más sin ninguna razón o beneficio ya que la info que te piden es exactamente la misma.

2. Completar el formulario:

  1. El link del punto 1 te llevará a esta página donde debes clickear en «CREATE NEW APPLICATION»

 

 

2. Luego debemos colocar si es una aplicación Individual o grupal si es para toda la familia, en este ejemplo veremos la aplicación Individual que es muy similar a la grupal.

 

 

3. Colocamos Yes / Si en ambos y clickeamos Next.

 

4. Nos pedirá cargar una foto del pasaporte! Carguenla y el sistema solo les autocompletará varios datos de la siguiente pantalla, los datos que resten los deben completar ustedes! En Este ejemplo hemos colocado que la nacionalidad es Italiana pero que nacimos en Argentina que es mi caso.

 

 

5. Más abajo les pedirá un correo electrónico que deberán completar y verificar. Al clickear siguiente les aparecerá un cartel para confirmar que el mail es correcto y que les enviará un código al mail para validarlo. Al clickear «Send» o «Enviar» les enviará un correo con un código el cual deberán ingresar para verificar el mail y poder continuar.

 

6. Información Personal: En este campo deberemos completar con nuestra info personal, hay preguntas como si tuvimos alguna vez un pasaporte emitido por otro país el cual hay que completar, también info de nuestro domicilio.
También les pedirá Social Media (Redes Sociales), esto es opcional pero si tienen redes limpias que los muestren con una vida establecida en su país, que no tengan tintes políticos comunistas o que no hablen bien de ustedes les super recomiendo que lo coloquen! Esto suma mucho a la hora de evaluar la aceptación! Deben saber que lo que EEUU no quiere es darle la ESTA a una persona que la utilice para ingresar al país y quedarse a vivir allí ilegalmente.

7. Travel Information: A continuación deberán poner el punto de contacto que tendrán en EEUU , si es un familiar viviendo allá o bien si van a un hotel deben colocar la dirección de alguno de los hoteles que ya sepan que van, y que vayan a estar hospedados la mayor parte del tiempo. Les dejo un ejemplo de la pantalla:

 

8. Eligibility Questions: Deberán leer y responder por Yes or No las preguntas, lo ideal es que todo sea NO, si alguna es SI pueden tener problemas para la elegibilidad de la ESTA y pueden llegar a rechazárselas. No necesariamente será así pero bueno ante un SI sepan que harán una revisión más minuciosa sobre su persona para aceptarles o rechazarles la ESTA.

Especial cuidado con la pregunta 9 ! Los Latinos suelen ir mucho a CUBA y es una pregunta que fácilmente muchos deberán contestar que SI. 

. Have you traveled to, or been present in Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria or Yemen on or after March 1, 2011?

 

 

9. Deberán además aceptar que leyeron y entendieron las preguntas para poder colocar NEXT o continuar. 

 

 

10. Review Application: Significa que deberán revisar si todos los datos expuestos son correctos para confirmar y poder pasar a la parte de pago!

 

11. Si todo está ok, deben colocar en Continuar y pasar a la parte de pago!

 

12. Recuerden que el precio desde hace ya tiempo es de USD 21, esto puede que se modifique en algún momento, pero nunca van a ser USD 80, para que corroboren que estén en la página oficial.
Una vez abonado les enviarán la confirmación en 72 hs. hábiles.

 

Mucha surte con su aplicación! 

Les dejo nuevamente el link oficial: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/?forceNav=true.

Recuerden que para alquilar autos Rentennials es la mejor opción, los precios son finales sin sorpresas ni cargos ocultos! No se dejen engañar por precios bajos en otros buscadores ya que llegarán y terminarán abonando más caro en el lugar. Alquilar un auto con Rentennials les asegurará un buen precio y la certeza de que el precio que abonarán será el final!
Además tienen otros beneficios como la entrega del vehículo en la terminal del aeropuerto, atención personalizada permanente, y mucho más!.

The Best Outlets in Orlando – Disney!

Orlando is not just about theme parks, Mickey Mouse, and roller coasters! This city has established itself as an ideal destination for shopping enthusiasts, offering great prices on clothing, sneakers, technology, and more at outlets, malls, and shopping centers!

In this post, I’ll share everything you need to know to make the most of your trip and optimize your shopping time! I’ve created a ranking based on my experience visiting Orlando every year from 2010 to 2024. The reality is that sometimes you’ll find better promotions at different outlets since it’s not linear and depends on the season, the brands you’re interested in, and many other factors!

Also, keep in mind that there are special discount days, such as February 19 (President’s Day), May 27 (Memorial Day), July 4 (Independence Day), September 2 (Labor Day), and Black Friday or Cyber Monday (usually at the end of November), as well as Christmas, etc. It’s important to pay attention to the calendar and plan your shopping day around these special dates! We once went on July 4 and saw items with 80% and 70% discounts, only to return the next day to find the same items had dropped to a mere 20% off.

Some people say that Premium Outlets are no longer cheap, but keep in mind that they are still cheaper than prices in Argentina. Additionally, if you consider several of the tips I’ll provide, you can find some excellent deals!

 

The 5 Best Outlets in Orlando:

 

1. Orlando Vineland Premium Outlet:

Personally, this is my favorite outlet for several reasons. Although it’s a bit smaller than the Orlando International Premium Outlet, it has the stores I love the most, and I always seem to find better discounts!

At this outlet, you’ll find sports and outdoor brands like NIKE, Adidas, Puma, Asics, Under Armour, The North Face, Columbia, New Balance, Oakley, Hurley, Reebok, and more. For clothing, there are brands like Armani, Boss, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, DKNY, Dolce & Gabbana, Forever 21, Gap, GUCCI, GUESS, Lacoste, Levi’s, Polo Ralph Lauren, PRADA, Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, and many others. For shoes and sneakers, you’ll find Aldo, Crocs, Journeys, Vans, Converse, among others, as well as children’s brands like Carter’s, OshKosh, and Gap Kids, along with hundreds of other brands.

This outlet is part of the Simon chain, which offers significant discounts on various brands. To access these discounts, you need to download the app and register! Here’s the link: Simon Orlando Vineland Premium Outlet

Location: 8200 Vineland Ave, Orlando, FL 32821, Estados Unidos 
General schedules: 10 AM to 9 PM (On Sundays, hours may vary and close at 7 PM during the low season).
web: Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets

Important Tips:

  1. Most stores offer you the option to sign up for their newsletter, providing discounts of up to an additional 10%. They usually just ask for your email or phone number. What I do is accept it and use different email addresses if I return to the same store to make another purchase.
  2. There are stores like The North Face, Gap, Forever 21, and more that are located in a different area, requiring you to cross a road to get to them! Many people don’t know this and miss out on the fantastic discounts from these big brands.

  3. With each purchase, your receipts include discounts you can use at other brands—definitely check them out! Sometimes, there are very attractive discounts available!

  4. It’s a good idea to go in the morning because at night, when they close, that’s when they put out the deals and organize the clothes for the next day! In the afternoon/evening, it’s the busiest time, and everything is usually in disarray, with the best items already gone!

2. Orlando Outlet Marketplace.

This is definitely the outlet where I’ve consistently found the best discounts! While there are only a few brands, the discounts are unbeatable. Here, you’ll find stores like NIKE, Adidas, Under Armour, Puma, Calvin Klein, Guess, New Balance, Carter’s, and a few others.

It has several advantages: it’s small, there aren’t usually many people, there’s plenty of parking, the stores are quite spacious (except for Nike), it often has the best discounts, and it’s super close to the Orlando International Premium outlets. I recommend starting here and then crossing over to the International to do both in one day.

Location: 5269 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819, Estados Unidos
Schedules: 10 AM to 9 PM (Sundays until 7 PM). Hours may vary depending on the season.
Web: https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/orlando-outlet-marketplace

 

Tips for Orlando Outlet Marketplace:

  1. Start your shopping day at this outlet and then head to the Orlando International Premium Outlets, which is very close by.
  2. You’ll probably buy a lot and need to leave your bags in the car. While it usually doesn’t happen, a couple of friends had all their bags filled with purchases stolen from their car because they left them in plain sight! So, just like you would in your Latin American country, don’t take chances—make sure to hide your belongings in the trunk before moving your car to the other outlet.

 

3. Orlando International Premium Outlet:

alquiler de auto Dinsey - Outlets Rentennials

It’s the largest outlet in Orlando, with countless brands, and it often gets crowded due to its popularity! You’ll find the most significant brands here. There’s even a small Disney outlet store where you can find some items—not a lot, but at much better prices compared to the parks.

You’ll come across sports and outdoor brands like NIKE, Adidas, Puma, Asics, Fila, Under Armour, The North Face, Columbia, New Balance, Oakley, Quiksilver, Hurley, Volcom, Reebok, and more. For clothing, you’ll find brands such as H&M, Armani, Boss, Banana Republic, Victoria’s Secret, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, DKNY, Forever 21, Gap, GUESS, Lacoste, Levi’s, Polo Ralph Lauren, Timberland, Tommy Hilfiger, and many others. For shoes and sneakers, there are Aldo, Crocs, Champion, Journeys, Vans, Converse, Skechers, among others, and for kids, you’ll find Carter’s, OshKosh, and Gap Kids, along with hundreds of other brands.

Location: 4951 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819, Estados Unidos
Schedule: 10 AM to 9 PM (Sundays until 7 PM). Hours may vary depending on the season.
Web: https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/orlando-international

 

Tips for International Premium Outlet:

  1. Just like at the Vineland outlet, download the Simon app to access discounts, check your receipts as they always include additional discounts, and register with your email at the stores to gain access to extra savings.
  2. Try to go early to secure parking and have a more relaxed shopping experience, especially during peak season.
  3. If you know you’re going to go crazy with shopping (like everyone does), bring a wheeled suitcase to make it easier to carry everything; otherwise, it can be impossible to walk around with so many bags! If you need to buy a suitcase, they sell them there, but they’re not usually cheap—except at the Samsonite store. You can find great prices at Ross, Marshall’s, or Walmart and take it with you that day! You’ll remember this tip the day you go and forget to bring a suitcase! hahaha
  4. Keep in mind that you’ll leave this outlet absolutely exhausted, as you’ll be doing a lot of walking, it can get very hot, and you’ll spend a lot of time standing around. Plan to return to your hotel for a bit to drop off your bags and rest before doing anything else.

 

4. The Florida Mall:

It’s considered one of the largest indoor shopping malls in Florida, and it has gained popularity with the recent opening of Primark! There are countless brands, but I think the standout ones are ZARA, H&M, Primark, and Apple. It also features Hollister, Adidas, Dick’s (which is a very large sports store), Macy’s, Forever 21, GAP, JCPenney, Pink, Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, Uniqlo, Vans, among many others.

While it’s not my favorite, it has some major brands that make it a must-visit. Plus, it has a play area for kids that my daughter really enjoyed!

Location: 8001 S Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando, FL 32809, Estados Unidos
Schedule: 10 AM to 9 PM (Sundays from 11 AM to 7 PM). Hours may vary depending on the season.
Web: https://www.simon.com/mall/the-florida-mall

 

5. Ross, Marshalls, Burlington:

You can’t go to Orlando without visiting these stores countless times! There are several, spread across various locations, and they offer the best prices. These stores buy surplus clothing from major brands and resell it at a lower price. They don’t just have clothing; you’ll also find footwear, luggage, home goods, toys, and a variety of other items!

Many people feel overwhelmed upon entering, as there are long racks filled with clothes, and it’s hard to know where to start. But those who look will find treasures! The good thing is that, although it may not seem like it, everything is organized by size and type of clothing. The key is to search thoroughly. You can find beautiful items from big brands at ridiculous prices!

Location: Several! Just search for any of these names on Google, and you’ll find smaller shopping centers with at least two of these brands.

 

Tips for Ross, Marshall y Burlington:

  1. Check, check, and check again! There are many hidden gems among those racks! You just need to take the time to look carefully!
  2. Look for tables with additional discounts and check for special deals!
  3. The lines at the checkout can be long, so plan your timing well. You might encounter very long lines when you go to pay!

Other malls that aren’t outlets but are definitely worth a visit!

 

Disney Springs:

It’s located in Disney and is a charming outdoor shopping center with plenty of restaurants, clothing stores, live shows, the largest Disney store, and much more.

Disney Springs is a must-visit if you’re going to Disney! Personally, I love this place, and it’s essential to go at night because there are always live music shows at various spots, the new drone show, and the atmosphere is always at Disney standards.

You’ll find clothing stores like ZARA, Uniqlo, Under Armour, Ron Jon, Columbia, Sephora, Anthropologie, Lacoste, MAC, Harley Davidson, Volcom, and many more! There are also must-visit stores such as: The LEGO store and World of Disney the largest gift shop in Disney, where you’ll find absolutely everything, from keychains, sweets, plush toys, and clothing to home goods and much more—all Disney-themed!

Restaurants: There are many options, and if you have a Disney dining plan, you can use it here as well! In fact, the food is infinitely better than at the hotels or parks! The last time we went, we had the Quick Service Dining Plan and took advantage of it by dining here every night! My recommendation is the restaurant The Polite Pig! The portions are huge, and it was some of the best food we had! (They accept the Quick Service Dining Plan.) There are many other restaurants, such as Planet Hollywood, Rain Forest Café, T-Rex Café, The Boathouse, D-Lux Burger (also highly recommended for their giant, delicious burgers that accept the Quick Service Dining Plan), Blaze Pizza (also accepts the Quick Service Dining Plan), and many more!

You can’t leave without trying the best cookies you’ll ever have at Gideon’s Bakehouse

 

Tips for Disney Springs:

  1. Go at sunset; it’s the best time! You can enjoy the live music shows, the beautiful lights and decorations, and find a good spot to watch the drone show!
  2. If you’re going by car, Uber, or any transportation that isn’t Disney, you’ll go through the same security checks and scanners as in the parks! Try not to bring a backpack or anything that might slow you down during the check! Selfie sticks, magnets, and thermoses are often flagged for a manual inspection!
  3. Parking is free! The Lime Parking Garage is the closest to the clothing stores and World of Disney, but you can also opt for the Orange Garage, which drops you off nearby. I don’t recommend the Grapefruit Garage because it requires more walking!

 

Universal CityWalk Orlando

It is located at the entrance to Universal and Islands of Adventure, and it’s very beautiful!

I also recommend going at sunset and staying for dinner at one of the restaurants, catching a live music show, and exploring the area!

Highly recommended to go to The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast.

I’ll leave you the photo because it’s hard to explain, but it’s a giant chocolate factory in the style of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and you can obviously sit down to eat or have an afternoon snack, buy different chocolates, etc.! The decor is spectacular, and even the waiters and staff are super well-dressed!

You can also find Hard Rock Café, where you can sit down to eat, shop at the store, or catch a live show!

Summary:

In conclusion, Disney has the best outlets, malls, and shopping centers, making it an excellent place to shop. Every time we go, we end up returning with two large suitcases each, plus a carry-on, a backpack, and bags in our hands! It’s unavoidable because you’ll find that buying a t-shirt, a sweater, or even a pair of shoes is cheaper than getting a hamburger!

I can recommend my sister, who is a Disney and Universal Agent, to help you navigate your trip, find promotions, and organize your itinerary for this amazing journey!

Instagram: @esdisneytime

 

And from my side, I can tell you that since 2010 until today (2024), I have been going to Disney every year (except for 2020 due to the pandemic), and in the last two years, I’ve gone four times. I can only say that not renting a car is the worst decision you can make! The convenience of renting a car, which is not expensive at all, is undeniable! Yes, I also use Disney transportation, but as I explain in this post, Orlando is more than just theme parks, and taking UBER for shopping is impossible, not to mention that you end up spending more. You will completely regret not having rented a car in advance!

Renting a car with Rentennials is the best option to enjoy Disney as you deserve! You will find plenty of options, from cheap cars to luxury ones, with unlimited tolls, without tolls, whatever you want! Highly recommended!

Recommendations for renting a car in Miami

Here’s the English translation of the text:

When planning a trip to Miami – United States, several frequently asked questions come up. In this post, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know to explore Miami or any city in the state of Florida, USA.

Let’s get started!

Is it worth renting a car in Miami?

The undisputed answer to this question is: Yes! Let us tell you why.

Unfortunately, the transportation system in Miami is not very good, and you might have to wait up to 2 hours for a bus. And while you could use Uber or Lyft, keep in mind that the distances are long, and you may end up spending more money than renting a car would cost. Renting a car solves everything – it’s much more convenient for getting around, and best of all, you can shop at all the malls and outlets without any issues. There are so many, and you won’t want to miss a single one.

Miami is a shopping destination:

We’ll be doing another post on the malls you can’t miss during your stay in Miami, but to name a few: Sawgrass Mills (1 hour from Miami Beach), one of the largest outlets in the United States. Without the convenience of a car, getting there would be difficult. There’s also Aventura Mall, where you’ll find high-end brands like Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, ZARA, and many more. And Dolphin Mall, another huge outlet, where in addition to big-name brands, you’ll find stores like Ross, Burlington, Five Below, and Marshall, among others! All of them are far away, and you won’t want to miss any! I insist: with Uber, you’ll spend much more than the cost of renting a car for a day!

Check out our post on What to Do in Miami During a 5-Day Stay to see all the places you can explore by car.

Visit Brickell, Miami Design District, and Wynwood

It will depend a lot on where you’re staying and how far these places are, but for example, many Argentinians tend to book accommodations in Hollywood, Sunny Isles, Hallandale, or North Beach. A round trip with Uber can cost as much as two days of car rental, and there’s no argument about the comfort of having a car to explore these areas.

Visit Key West, Orlando

If you’re planning to visit either of these two places, there’s no doubt that renting a car in Miami is a must. You’ll save a lot of money and be able to travel in the most comfortable, economical, and efficient way possible. Discover all the car rental options we offer in Miami with Rentennials to ensure the best price, the best service, and the best car rental experience you’ll find in Miami!

Recommendations for renting a car in Orlando (Disney)

Is it worth renting a car in Orlando?

If you’re going to Orlando, there are several things to consider. First, if you’re arriving in Miami and need to drive to Orlando, it’s approximately a 4-hour drive with moderate traffic. While they’ve recently launched a train 🚉 connecting Miami to Orlando (Brightline), it can be quite expensive, especially if you have several passengers. Plus, you’ll need to pay extra for large suitcases 😱. For this reason, one of the best options to travel from Miami to Orlando is to rent a car. And be cautious with Disney agents or forums that say you don’t need to rent a car in Orlando! While it’s true that you might spend much of your day exploring a theme park, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Parking at Disney hotels and parks:

For example, if you stay at a Disney hotel, parking is free both at the hotel and the park. However, at Universal Studios, you will need to pay for parking at the hotels and parks within the chain.

Outlets in Disney Orlando:

Orlando, or better known as Disney, isn’t just about theme parks! It’s also a great shopping destination! There are major outlets, such as Premium Outlets at its various locations (Premium Outlets Vineland, Premium Outlets International Drive), or the most affordable outlet, Orlando Marketplace, as well as The Florida Mall, The Loop, and The Mall at Millenia.

Supermarkets:

Don’t forget about Walmart! There are several locations, and they’re perfect for visiting whenever you have some free time! We could keep listing countless places like Costco (a hypermarket chain that has everything), BestBuy (a giant electronics store), and much more, which we’ll leave for another post. But believe me, visiting all these shopping spots without a car would be impossible! That’s why renting a car with Rentennials is your best option!

Frequently asked questions when considering renting a car in Mendoza

When planning a trip to Mendoza, several frequently asked questions arise. In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know to explore Mendoza in the best way and make the most of your trip.

Let’s get started!

Is it worth renting a car in Mendoza?

The undeniable answer to this question is YES! Some people say it’s not worth it because, “Why have a car if we’re going to drink wine?” Well, let me tell you, unfortunately, Mendoza doesn’t have a good public transport system. Or it does, but it’s not geared towards tourists, as most wineries are several kilometers away from the city, and taking an Uber, Cabify, or taxi is very expensive. A round trip will cost you more than a day’s car rental. It just doesn’t make sense!

Additionally, Mendoza isn’t just about wineries. If you want to go to the mountains, the only option is by car. You can’t come to Mendoza without visiting Potrerillos for at least a day. It’s a magical place you simply must experience.

So, by booking a car in advance, you’ll ensure the best price, and it will be super convenient. No doubt about it!

We’re sharing a discount code (BLOG10) for your next trip, so you can book at the best rate on https://rentennials.app

How much does it cost to rent a car in Mendoza?

Prices vary widely depending on the vehicle category, but to give you an idea, on the website https://rentennials.app you can find the best rates and a great variety of vehicles, like a Fiat Cronos at $40,000 per day, equivalent to USD 28 per day. Prices start from USD 20 for the most economical options and go up from there depending on the models. A hack is to book early to have plenty of choices and the best prices, rather than booking last minute and having to go with the most expensive models or inflated prices due to urgency!

Where to go by car in Mendoza?

1. High Mountain Circuit via RN 7

One of Mendoza’s must-see routes is the High Mountain Circuit along RN 7. This journey will take you through the stunning Andes Mountains, offering breathtaking views and stops at iconic spots. Here are the main highlights of this route:

• Potrerillos Dam

One of the first highlights of the route is Potrerillos Dam. This reservoir, surrounded by mountains, is perfect for water activities and enjoying a picnic with spectacular views.

• Uspallata

Continuing along the route, you’ll reach Uspallata, a charming mountain town offering a blend of history and nature. Here you can explore archaeological sites and experience local hospitality.

• Penitentes

Further along, you’ll find the Penitentes ski resort, a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts. Even off-season, the views from this spot are amazing.

• Puente del Inca

Puente del Inca is a stunning natural formation you should visit. This rock bridge over the Las Cuevas River is famous for its thermal waters and fascinating history.

• Aconcagua Provincial Park

You can’t drive along RN 7 without stopping at Aconcagua Provincial Park. Here, you’ll have the chance to see the highest peak in the Americas, the majestic Aconcagua, and enjoy trails that bring you close to this giant of nature.

• Las Cuevas

Finally, the route takes you to Las Cuevas, the last town before the Chilean border. It’s the perfect spot to pause and soak in the mountain’s tranquility before heading back.

This route along RN 7 is an excellent way to experience the beauty and diversity of Mendoza’s landscapes. From outdoor activities to moments of relaxation, the High Mountain Circuit has something for everyone.

2. Mendoza – Villavicencio – Uspallata – Mendoza

A route that takes about 5 or 6 hours to complete, covering around 350 kilometers. The journey takes you through all types of surfaces: pavement, dirt, and gravel. Mountain air, native wildlife, and vegetation. Start from the city in the morning, heading to Villavicencio. Upon arrival, you can stop, get out, and walk for a bit, explore the abandoned hotel, and enjoy the scenery. Next comes the dirt section, with curves and slopes but unique landscapes. From the car, you can take it all in without getting out, though stopping for a photo isn’t a bad idea. Then, you arrive in Uspallata, where you can get food, refuel, and tend to your needs. Finally, return home via Route 7.

3. Mendoza – Las Vegas – La Carrera – Tupungato – El Manzano – Mendoza

Similar duration and distance. Similar scenery, as captivating as the previous suggestion. It’s recommended to leave early in the morning, heading towards Las Vegas in Potrerillos. A technical stop with a convenience store. Then begins the dirt road, suitable for cars, toward Tupungato, known as “La Carrera” or “Manantiales.” It’s mostly straight stretches among the mountain plains, with only a few switchbacks. Reach your destination, then follow the wine routes to El Manzano Histórico. There are plenty of places to buy food or eat there. Finally, head down to Vista Flores and onto Route 40 back to Mendoza.

4. The Wine Routes

Start from Mendoza by car, heading towards Tupungato via Route 40, taking the “Los Cerrillos” turn-off. In about an hour, you’ll arrive. The real fun begins here. From Tupungato to El Manzano, as described above, you can follow “The Wine Routes.” The route winds through vineyards of the province’s major wineries. The architecture of the wineries adds to the already beautiful landscape. A must-see. Once you reach El Manzano, follow the instructions mentioned earlier.

5. San Rafael / Las Leñas

The southern part of Mendoza is far from the city, so it’s best not to make this a day trip! South Mendoza offers so many must-see destinations that it’s worth dedicating at least 3 to 5 days to fully experience it. Some highlights include:

•Valle Grande: A reservoir close to San Rafael with a wide range of adventure tourism options on the river and at the site, plus many dining options along the way.

•El Nihuil: Another reservoir near the city, a favorite among San Rafael residents.

•Los Reyunos: A beautiful reservoir with a picturesque mountain village, ideal for those with boats for fishing or water sports.

•Las Leñas: The famous ski resort in Malargüe, a popular destination in both winter and summer. In winter, it’s one of the most sought-after spots for snow and skiing or snowboarding. In summer and fall, you can also visit its stunning mountains and enjoy horseback riding, trekking, and more.

•Valle Hermoso: Beyond Las Leñas lies Valle Hermoso (Caution! The road is not great; we don’t recommend it for small vehicles—ideally, high-clearance vehicles under 5 years old). This valley is straight out of a fairytale, with rivers and a lake where you can camp overnight in domes or tents. It’s a popular choice for anglers and those wanting to disconnect from technology for a while.
