Set against a stunning backdrop of the looming Andes mountain range only 80 km southwest of the city of Mendoza, the agricultural town of Tunuyan is a scenic starting point for exploring the many wine estates of the unspoiled Uco Valley. While the town itself offers a range of accommodation options, restaurants and al fresco cafes, the Tunuyán River and the surrounding mountainous countryside provide countless opportunities for outdoor adventure activities. These include, among others, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, river rafting, rock-climbing, and even paragliding.
