Amazing trip & amazing tour company! - We booked the High Mountains trip & 5 stars is not enough to do it justice. The scenery was out of this world, the stops served functional & photography purposes, & the only shopping stop was a delicious local chocolate & wine shop at the border. Our guide Esteban was brilliant & even though we were the minority English speaking tourists, we didnt feel left out at all. The explanation was very detailed & we felt very much part of the tour even though we did not speak any Spanish. Cepas Tourismo staff were very helpful & go out of their way to assist us when we left an item on the tour bus. Highly recommend this tour company, you will not be disappointed.

I recommend 100% - The truth is that it was all excellent: the treatment, the care and the quality of the excursions. Both the guide and the drivers were very cool and always well disposed. They gave us all the information and itinerary of the day clearly. They musicalized the whole trip with a very good playlist.
Thanks to Hugo, who shared the videos and took great pictures!
I definitely recommend them 100%.
I am leaving very happy and looking forward to coming back. Beautiful landscapes of Mendoza

Thanks Fede and Esteban!
