5 Tips to Prevent Altitude Sickness in Peru

If you’re planning to visit Peruvian destinations located over 2,500 meters above sea level, it’s essential to know how to prepare and avoid altitude sickness, also known locally as “soroche.” This condition can cause symptoms like fatigue, headaches, dizziness, or nausea — but with a few simple precautions, you can enjoy your trip without complications.Whether you travel by public transport or rent a peer-to-peer car through Rentennials, moving freely and at your own pace will help you better adapt your travel itinerary. Follow these tips to stay safe and comfortable at high altitude:

1. Allow your body to adjust

Upon arrival at a high-altitude location, avoid intense physical activity for the first 24 to 48 hours. Gentle activities like short walks or relaxed sightseeing are ideal. If you’re driving a rented vehicle, take advantage of the flexibility to stop often and explore without overexerting yourself.

2. Choose light meals

At higher elevations, digestion tends to slow down. During your first few days, opt for light, low-fat, easy-to-digest meals. Avoid large portions and prioritize foods like fruits, cereals, or nourishing soups.

3. Stay hydrated

The dry air and lower oxygen pressure can easily lead to dehydration. Always carry a reusable water bottle and take small sips throughout the day. Hot herbal teas, such as coca or muña, can also help you stay hydrated and feel better.

4. Try coca leaves or related products

Coca leaf is one of the most traditional natural remedies for alleviating altitude sickness symptoms. You can consume it as tea, candies, pills, or even chew the raw leaves. It’s widely available in local markets, hotels, and stores.

5. Listen to your body and rest

If you feel tired or unwell, the best thing you can do is rest. Don’t push yourself. Organize a flexible itinerary that gives you time to pause. Renting a car lets you stay in control of your schedule, stop whenever needed, and travel at your own rhythm.

Travel freely at high altitudes

With Rentennials, you can rent cars directly from local hosts and explore Peru with total independence. No fixed schedules or rigid routes — just the freedom to move well, which is also part of staying healthy.

The 5 Michelin-Starred Restaurants in Mendoza

Wineries, the Andes, snow, and in recent years, Michelin-starred restaurants in Mendoza. This province has it all. The excellence of its gastronomy has drawn the attention of the world’s most prestigious culinary guide. Today, it’s not just about enjoying top wines paired with local or signature dishes — you can live unique flavor experiences found nowhere else in the world.

In this article, you’ll discover the five Michelin-starred restaurants in Mendoza. Dining at these places is much more than a meal: it’s a complete culinary journey where the chefs take the region’s flavors to another level.

At Rentennials, we want you to enjoy the very best experiences in Argentina. Get ready for an unforgettable journey for your palate.

What Is the Michelin Guide?

The Michelin Guide was born in France in 1900 as a tool for those who dared to travel. Created by the Michelin tire company, it recommended routes, accommodations, and restaurants for travelers exploring the country by car. Just imagine what it was like to venture down dirt roads, with few service stations and a car industry that was just beginning. The guide was essential for many.

Over time, it evolved into the world’s leading authority on gastronomy. Today, it awards stars to restaurants offering exceptional culinary experiences, where dishes must combine quality, creativity, and technique.

We had to wait until 2024 for the Michelin Guide to recognize restaurants in Mendoza and Buenos Aires.

How Is a Restaurant Chosen to Receive a Michelin Star?

First, certain restaurants are selected to be evaluated by Michelin inspectors. These evaluations are done anonymously, so no one knows when a Michelin inspector is dining.

Five criteria are considered: quality of ingredients, mastery of culinary techniques, harmony of flavors, the chef’s personality reflected in the dishes, and consistency over time. The recognition is based solely on what is delivered on the plate and the complete experience offered to the guest.

Now you know all the effort Michelin-starred restaurants in Mendoza have gone through to make it onto this exclusive list.

The Michelin-Starred Restaurants in Mendoza

Mendoza is one of Argentina’s most celebrated culinary destinations. The combination of outstanding wines, local products, stunning landscapes, and talented chefs turns every meal into an unforgettable experience.

Today, there are five Michelin-starred restaurants in Mendoza that celebrate the region’s flavors. Each has its own style and identity.

Here’s the list — and below, all the details about each one:

  • Azafrán
  • Brindillas
  • Zonda Cocina Paisaje
  • Riccitelli Bristó
  • Casa Vigil

Azafrán

Just a few blocks from Plaza Independencia, you’ll find a place that captures the true essence of Mendoza’s gastronomy: Azafrán. Led by chef Sebastián Weigandt, the concept focuses on high-quality local ingredients and a deep commitment to local producers. Mendoza provides the perfect setting to bring his vision to life.

Chef Weigandt offers two tasting menus celebrating Mendoza and Argentina: “Paseo por Mendoza” (six courses) and “Paseo por Argentina” (ten courses). Vegetables and goat are key ingredients in the dishes. There’s also a lighter option called “Pequeño Paseo,” featuring three courses. Each experience is paired perfectly with Mendoza’s finest wines.

Brindillas

In Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo, you’ll find Brindillas, a hidden gem created by chef Mariano Gallego. Tucked away from the usual tourist routes, the location feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. The cuisine, service, and overall experience are simply impeccable.

Chef Mariano Gallego blends technique honed abroad with creativity and a strong respect for local ingredients. His tasting menu, available in a short or long version, features dishes like roasted eggplant with romesco and anchovy cubes, grilled beef with pepper and sweet potato, and confit peach with amaretto, mascarpone foam, and homemade almond ice cream — all paired with excellent wines from their cellar.

  • Reservations
  • Address: Guardia Vieja 2898, Luján de Cuyo
  • Price without wine pairing: from USD 85 per person
  • Price with wine pairing: from USD 160 per person

Zonda Cocina de Paisaje

At Bodega Lagarde, you’ll find another of Mendoza’s Michelin-starred restaurants: Zonda Cocina de Paisaje. Located in Luján de Cuyo, the restaurant’s philosophy centers around using ingredients from their own organic garden. There’s nothing quite like tasting dishes made with produce grown just steps away — from tomatoes to aromatic herbs, all harvested on-site. Their DOC Malbec wines pair perfectly with the menu.

Zonda pays homage to Cuyan cuisine, blending authentic flavors with high-end techniques. Diners can choose from several tasting menus: Experiencia Paisaje, Experiencia Zonda, Pacha, Cuyano, and Gilanco — each one paired with exceptional wines from the bodega.

  • Reservations
  • Address: San Martín 1745, Bodega Lagarde
  • Price with wine pairing: from USD 140 per person

Riccitelli Bistró

Amidst the vineyards of Luján de Cuyo, Bodega Matías Riccitelli Wines created something different: a restaurant built using recycled materials, fully integrated with the natural landscape. This combination of wine, cuisine, and sustainability makes for a truly unique experience.

Chef Juan Ventureyra presents his dishes either indoors or on the terrace, offering two tasting menus that showcase authentic regional cuisine. There’s also a shorter four-course option. Vegetables take center stage in most of the creations, highlighting the freshness and vibrancy of local produce.

  • Reservations
  • Address: Callejón de La Reta 750
  • Price without wine pairing: from USD 90 per person
  • Price with wine pairing: from USD 150 per person

Casa Vigil

In the heart of Chachingo lies Casa Vigil, the dream project of renowned winemaker Alejandro Vigil. After achieving the first-ever 100-point Parker ratings for two Argentine wines, Vigil turned his focus to gastronomy. His vision brought Casa Vigil into the Michelin-starred list of Mendoza. Inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, the restaurant offers a symbolic journey through flavors and emotions.

Guests start with a stroll through the vineyards before settling into rustic yet elegant dining rooms, where they can enjoy terroir-driven dishes offered either in a midday executive menu or two extensive tasting menus at night.

  • Reservations
  • Address: Videla Aranda 7008
  • Price with wine pairing: from USD 120 per person

Atardecer en San Miguel del Monte

A Town with History

In a town founded during the 18th century, it’s impossible not to encounter places that connect you with the history of our country.

The first must-visit spot in San Miguel del Monte is the Rancho de Rosas, a construction dating back to 1817 made of adobe and straw. What makes this small house remarkable is that it was moved in its entirety from a rural estate to the urban center. Today, it houses historical pieces, including a replica of San Martín’s saber. It’s open for visits Thursday through Sunday and on holidays, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

The colonial style of its architecture makes it unique, while inside, you’ll find a French organ and stained glass windows over a hundred years old. On the other side of the square stands the Palacio Municipal, an iconic building in the city since 1938.

A fun fact: one of the town’s entrances features the Monument to Fillol, honoring the goalkeeper who was a world champion in 1978 and was born and raised in this Buenos Aires locality.

San Miguel del Monte: Places to Eat

In San Miguel del Monte, you won’t find gastronomic proposals that stand out for their modernity or haute cuisine. In this small town, the charm lies in visiting family-owned restaurants, parrillas, and pizzerias with a small-town atmosphere, something not often found in other destinations near the capital.

Here are some places where you can enjoy true countryside gastronomy.

In addition to sitting by the beautiful waterfront to have some mate or simply take a nap, you can enjoy activities for the whole family. Kayaking, windsurfing, and boat rides are among the most popular options. If you prefer a plan without getting into the water, you can rent a bike and cycle around much of the lagoon’s perimeter.

For those who find their way to disconnect through fishing, the silverside fish is one of the species that reign in the lagoon’s waters. And if you’re passionate about birdwatching, bring some binoculars: you’ll be amazed by the great diversity of species.

The wide variety of activities to do makes this city in the Buenos Aires Pampas one of the preferred getaways near Buenos Aires for many.

Not far from there, the Cathedral of Nuestra Señora de la Merced, built between 1832 and 1863, is one of the oldest churches in the province. Continuing the tour, you can visit the Brazzola Municipal Theater, inaugurated in 1945 and a symbol of the city.
