Where to visit, and When, Why, and What the heck to do while you’re there.
There is no better way to experience Lujan de Cuyo than by bicycle! The main town in this region is Chacras de Coria – a sleepy upscale suburb of Mendoza that is so quaint and fun to meander even without the added benefit of all the gorgeous wineries peppered throughout.…
Before our trip to Mendoza, Argentina, I read a lot online about winery biking in Maipu. I learned there were a couple of places to rent bikes, a clearcut bike path, and several wineries in the area to visit. All of these things were true. I also read that Maipu…
