- Catedral de San Juan - Unlike most cities in Argentina, San Juan does not have an ancient cathedral. Its main temple, featuring Romanesque architecture, stands impressively in front of 25 de Mayo Square. It is a prime example of the city’s reconstruction following the 1944 earthquake. The San Juan Cathedral was inaugurated on December 16, 1979, and was designed by architect Daniel Ramos Correas.
- Auditorio Juan Victoria - Visitors will explore this unique concert hall, renowned in the country. It is a stunning, comfortable venue with wooden walls and ceiling, a carpeted floor, and leather seating. The highlight of this space is the German organ, featuring tubes of various materials and sizes.
- Parque Dr. Federico Cantoni - The initial encounter with the Zonda area is this magnificent park, which offers various traditional sites to explore. This area dates back to the early 20th century when it was a popular summer retreat for many San Juan families.
Additionally, the tour includes a visit to the Garden of the Poets, a park within the four-kilometer circuit to the creek. This section of the park features an oval-shaped representation of the provincial coat of arms, created through the strategic placement of exotic trees and shrubs. This design can be viewed from a lookout point 70 meters above sea level, showcasing the elements of this significant symbol for the people of San Juan.
- Dique de Ullum - En route to the final stop of the excursion, the tour will pass by an olive oil factory and a winery, with stops at both locations.
Before reaching the Dike, visitors will see the San Juan River and Aguas Blancas Park, home to an artificial wave that hosted the last freestyle kayak event in 2017.
