Huayna Picchu: One of the World’s Most Incredible Hikes

Towering at over 2,700 meters above sea level, Huayna Picchu is among the most sought-after adventures within Machu Picchu’s park. The challenging climb offers unmatched panoramic views and deep immersion in Inca heritage.

At the summit lies the mystical Temple of the Moon (also known as the Great Cavern), a hidden ceremonial space. Along the way, hikers can also access iconic sites like the Sacred Rock, Temple of the Condor, Water Mirrors, and more.

Key Info for Visiting Huayna Picchu

  • The hike is of moderate to high difficulty and takes around 1.5 hours round trip.
  • Minimum age: 12 (must be accompanied by an adult).
  • Total visit time for Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu: 6 hours.

San Miguel del Monte: Places to Eat

The ease of access makes this town one of the preferred getaways near Buenos Aires for many.

There are options for all tastes, allowing you to enjoy a few nights with a countryside atmosphere. From cabins, inns, and hotels to glamping.

The P2P Carsharing Revolution 🌍

A sustainable option 🌱

🌱 Why is Rentennials Sustainable? 🚗

Car sharing 🚘 is a shared mobility model that allows users to rent vehicles without the need to own a car. This model transforms the way we move, offering a more affordable, flexible, and sustainable alternative to traditional private vehicle use. At Rentennials, we firmly believe that this transportation model has a positive impact both for users and for the planet. Here’s why:

🔑 A car on the street, but with efficient use

In Latin America, a car is parked for an average of 95% of the time ⏳, meaning that most cars on the streets are inactive, taking up space and resources. With the P2P car sharing model, the idea is to maximize the use of each vehicle, making it available to those who really need it. By doing this, we reduce the number of unnecessary cars on the road, and therefore, we decrease traffic and the production of new vehicles 🚙.

🚦 Reducing traffic and vehicles on the streets

According to a Forbes study, for every P2P car sharing vehicle on the road, up to 10 additional cars are removed from the streets 🚗❌. This results in less congestion, less pollution, and more efficient public space 🌍. At Rentennials, we not only optimize the use of existing cars, but we also contribute to a cleaner, less congested urban model.

💸 Sustainability doesn’t have to be expensive

There is a common misconception that sustainability has to be more expensive. At Rentennials, we prove this is not true. Not only do we offer a wide variety of vehicles at affordable prices, but by not having a traditional structure like car rental companies 🏢, we can significantly reduce costs. This allows us to offer much more competitive prices, even more affordable than buying a car! 💰

⚡ The flexibility and economy of the P2P car sharing model

By renting a vehicle through P2P car sharing, our users gain access to a more flexible, broader, and cost-effective option. There’s no need to purchase a car for personal use, which comes with not only a high initial cost but also ongoing expenses for maintenance, insurance, taxes, etc. Instead, with Rentennials, you can rent a vehicle only when you need it, saving money 💵 while using a resource already on the street, in a more efficient and sustainable way.

🌍 Conclusion: The future of transportation is shared

At Rentennials, we are convinced that the future of urban transportation lies in more efficient and sustainable mobility models 🚀. By promoting P2P car sharing, we not only help reduce the number of cars on the streets but also offer an affordable alternative to car ownership. Car sharing is not just a more eco-friendly 🌱 option, but also a smarter choice for those looking to optimize their spending and contribute to a more sustainable world.

Join Rentennials and be part of this change towards a sustainable future! 🌱💚

New metered parking system in Mendoza: How does it work?

In the city of Mendoza, drivers are starting to experience a new way of managing parking in some of its busiest streets. This digital metered parking system aims to optimize the use of public space and, more importantly, reduce traffic chaos in key areas of the city.

At Rentennials, we’ll walk you through how this new system works — and how it might affect your car rental experience in Mendoza.
Metered parking in Mendoza

🅿️ What Is Mendoza’s New Digital Metered Parking System?

This new system, implemented in certain areas of Mendoza, represents a step toward more modern and practical management of public parking.

Unlike the old paper card method (where you had to place a card on your dashboard), everything is now handled through a mobile app.

For those who don’t use smartphones, there are still authorized sales points where you can pay traditionally.

📍 Where Is This System Being Used?

Currently, the system is being tested in key areas such as Arístides Villanueva, Juan B. Justo, Belgrano, Sarmiento, and Tiburcio Benegas — all known for high traffic flow.

If the pilot is successful, it will be rolled out to more areas across Mendoza.

📲 How Does the App Work?

To use the system, drivers must download the SEM Mendoza app. QR codes to access the app are posted on signs in the designated zones.

Once installed, the steps are simple:

1. Register:

Sign up with your phone number, email, and mobile carrier.

Android – Play Store

iOS – App Store 
Application for metered parking in the city of Mendoza.

2. Enter Vehicle Info:

Add the license plate number of the car you’re parking.

3. Start Parking Session:

Select the “start parking” option and enter the time you’ll need.

4. Payment:

Pay in advance through the app or at an authorized sales point.

Everything is digital — no more machines or paper tickets — and your session must be paid before parking.

✅ Key Benefits of the New System

•Convenience: Manage your parking through the app — no need for cash or finding a parking attendant.

•Flexibility: Don’t have the app? You can still pay at physical locations.

•Reminders: The app notifies you when your time is about to expire so you can extend it.

•Efficiency: Helps organize parking and can expand to more areas if successful.

⏰ What Happens When Time Runs Out?

One great feature is flexibility. If your session is about to expire, you’ll receive a reminder to top it up.

If you don’t, you may receive a fine — just like with any traditional metered parking system.

👥 How Does This Affect Drivers?

Although the system offers many advantages — like convenience and speed — some users may initially struggle if they’re not tech-savvy.

However, the city has introduced a grace period (until March 31), during which the service is free. This gives everyone time to get used to it.

For regular drivers in these areas, the app will simplify payments and reduce parking stress. Plus, no more handling cash or paper tickets!

🌆 Why This Change Matters for Urban Mobility

Digital metered parking doesn’t just improve organization — it can positively impact overall mobility in the city.

Real-time tracking and payment reduce the time people spend looking for parking, which means less traffic congestion, more fluid movement, and a better urban experience.

In an age of smart cities, this is a big leap toward smarter, cleaner, and more efficient urban transportation.

🔮 What to Expect in the Future

If the Mendoza pilot is successful, it could expand across other cities in Argentina and Latin America.

This is part of a larger movement: the digitization of urban mobility, using tech to improve everyday life.

For drivers, adapting to this change might take some getting used to — but the benefits are worth it, especially with the system’s flexibility.

🏁 Conclusion

Mendoza’s new digital metered parking system is a major step forward in modernizing urban transport.

With easy payment options via app or in-person, the system offers an efficient, smart way to manage city parking — making life easier for drivers and creating a more organized and sustainable city.

The “Airbnb of cars” raises capital: the Mendoza startup that operates in the United States now reaches Peru

Rentennials, the Argentine platform that connects vehicle owners with drivers, expands its carsharing model to Peru. With the support of ProInnóvate, it aims to consolidate shared mobility in the region and plans to triple its growth this year.

Rentennials, a private vehicle rental platform founded in Mendoza in 2022 by Andrés Puebla and Gerardo Germanó, was selected by ProInnóvate Perú to receive a US$ 40,000 fund that will finance its entry into the Peruvian market.

The measure takes place in a context of accelerated growth of carsharing in the region. According to data from Kushki and Statista, the carsharing industry in Latin America generated US$66.2 billion in 2022 and is estimated to have grown by 18% in 2024. At the moment, Peru and Chile stand out among the markets that drive this trend.

In Argentina, Rentennials, the “Airbnb of cars”, facilitated transactions for $600 million, integrating more than 800 owners who, together, recorded revenues for an average of $480 million, and operates in more than 10 cities. According to data provided by the company, the company expects to triple its growth this year, increasing its operations in the United States, Peru and Argentina. Rentennials aims to contribute to shared mobility through the use of electric vehicles and the implementation of user and owner validation processes, in addition to offering a corporate rental service.

Rentennials works through a mobile app or web platform, which offers a wide variety of searches for tourists, by time of use, locations and type of vehicle, among others. These users must be over 25 years old, have a credit card with available balance for blocking franchises, and must take a photo of their driver’s license, which must not be expired so as not to be rejected by the owner. The process is 100% paperless through a PC or mobile, which results on average between 20% and 40% cheaper than a classic rent a car, the company assures.

The Rentennials business model is based on charging 20% ​​of the total reservation and the remaining 80% is charged by the owner directly with the renter, either in cash or transfer.

“Rentennials’ first idea was to create a rental community for all kinds of products that people have at home and rarely use, such as tools, camping, free time, sports, sound. But when we saw that mobility in the world was changing and in many places it no longer made sense to own a car, we decided to focus solely on that niche,” Germanó said in a newspaper article about the beginnings.

The selection by ProInnóvate Perú adds to a series of previous financing, including an investment of US$ 100,000 in the development of the platform and the support of the Chilean fund AceleraLatam.

Carsharing vs. Traditional Car Rental: Which One is the Best Option for Your Next Trip?

If you’ve ever rented a car from a traditional rental company, you’ve likely experienced the same frustrating process:

❌ Endless lines at the airport.

❌ High prices and hidden fees.

❌ Complicated paperwork and long contracts.

❌ Impersonal service with no flexibility in pickup or return locations.

Today, there’s a simpler and more accessible alternative: carsharing, or renting cars directly from local owners. In this article, we’ll explain why this new way of renting is changing the game and why more travelers are choosing platforms like Rentennials over traditional car rental companies.

🏆 1. Price: Save up to 50% with Carsharing

One of the biggest issues with traditional rent-a-car companies is the high cost.

If you’re searching for car rental in Mendoza, Buenos Aires, or any tourist city, you’ll likely come across high rates, hidden fees, and expensive insurance add-ons that drive up the total price.

💰 Why is carsharing more affordable?

✅ Up to 50% lower prices, as cars belong to local owners rather than large corporations with high operational costs.

✅ No hidden fees or unexpected charges.

🔍 Real Price Comparison:

Rental Type

Fiat Cronos 2020 (Daily Price)

Traditional Car Rental

USD 75 + extra fees

Rentennials (Carsharing)

USD 35, insurance included, no hidden costs

With carsharing, you pay only what’s fair—no middlemen inflating the prices.

🚀 2. Speed & Convenience: No Lines, No Bureaucracy

If you’ve rented a car from a traditional company before, you know how time-consuming and frustrating the process can be:

•Long waits at the airport.

•Excessive paperwork and documentation.

•Lengthy contracts full of fine print.

📲 With Rentennials, the process is 100% digital:

🔹 Book in minutes from the app or website.

🔹 No paperwork or unnecessary procedures.

🔹 Fast and flexible delivery with local hosts.

💡 Real example:

👉 You arrive at your destination, land at the airport, and within 15 minutes, you’re driving your rental car.

With a traditional rental company, you could easily waste over an hour dealing with paperwork and waiting in line.

📍 3. Location: Get Your Car Wherever It’s Most Convenient for You

With traditional rental companies, you’re forced to pick up the car from their office or the airport. But what if you prefer to receive the car somewhere else in the city?

✅ With Rentennials, you can coordinate with the host and have the car delivered where it suits you best:

•Airport → Arrive and have your car waiting for you.

•City center → Ideal for those who prefer to explore by taxi or public transport first.

•Hotels & accommodations → Perfect for those who value convenience.

💡 Real example:

Many tourists searching for “rent a car in Mendoza,” “rent a car in Buenos Aires,” “rent a car in Miami,” etc., often prefer to have their car delivered directly to their hotel so they can start their trip stress-free.

🔒 4. Security & Trust: Verified Ratings and Reviews

A common misconception about carsharing is that it’s not as secure as renting from a traditional company. The truth? It’s even more reliable.

🔹 Security in Rentennials:

✅ Every host and driver is verified before being allowed to rent.

✅ All cars include insurance with full coverage in case of incidents.

✅ Hosts and drivers can rate and review each other after every rental.

✅ If a host cancels or doesn’t deliver the car, Rentennials steps in to ensure a quick solution.

Plus, while some vehicles listed on Rentennials may belong to traditional rental companies, they must comply with Rentennials’ policies—ensuring greater transparency, fairer prices, and a safer experience (just like Airbnb or Booking with hotels).

💡 Real example:

👉 With a traditional rental company, you might get a car with over 100,000 km in poor condition, without knowing who used it before you.

👉 With carsharing, car owners value their vehicle and keep it in top condition.

🌍 5. Carsharing = More Sustainable Mobility

Beyond convenience and price, carsharing is a key solution to reducing pollution and traffic congestion in cities.

🚗 Fewer cars manufactured = A smaller carbon footprint.

🌱 A single car serves multiple travelers.

🔋 Encourages the use of electric and sustainable vehicles.

💡 Important fact:

The mobility sector accounts for 24% of global CO₂ emissions, with 75% coming from land transportation. Carsharing helps reduce the need for more car production and optimizes existing resources.
