    The best tourism company!

    I traveled with Federico and Mauro and I must say that the service was impeccable. The experience was incredible and I have no complaints to make because they were really attentive to every detail. The vehicle was very clean and well-equipped. In addition, they have excellent prices. And I want to highlight our guide, Fede, again, since I traveled alone and from the first moment he made me feel very comfortable and accompanied. He was always attentive to ensure we were all okay, answering every question and making the tour even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, I recommend them 100%!!! 😁

    Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por tu reseña y por recomendarnos! 😊 Nos alegra enormemente saber que te sentiste cómoda, acompañada y que disfrutaste de una experiencia tan positiva. Comentarios como el tuyo nos motivan a seguir cuidando cada detalle para que cada viaje sea inolvidable. ¡Esperamos recibirte nuevamente en Mendoza! 💙

    Excellent

    I had a wonderful experience on the excursion to Valle de Uco. From very early on, the guide Ana communicated with me via WhatsApp to indicate what time they would come to pick me up at the hotel, which demonstrated her great organization and kindness. Throughout the entire tour, Ana was extremely lovely and attentive. She not only shared a great deal of information about the history, geography, and economy of the region, but she also did it in such an interesting way that it was a real pleasure to listen to her. Thanks to her explanations, one learns a lot and enjoys the experience even more. The driver, Marcelo, drove impeccably, and his great experience behind the wheel is clearly noticeable. The trip was very pleasant thanks to the typical music of the area and the national rock that accompanied the journey. Both Ana and Marcelo were very funny and managed to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. In addition, Ana had many thoughtful touches that made the difference. She took us to extra places that were not originally included in the excursion, such as the Tupungato sign, and she always made sure that everyone could enjoy themselves and take home nice memories. She even asked other people to move a little so as not to block the photos and gave us enough time to explore each place calmly. On the other hand, the travel tips and recommendations that Ana gave us were very useful. Her warmth, dedication, and professionalism made this excursion an unforgettable experience. Without a doubt, I highly recommend it.

    Response from the operator: ¡Qué alegría recibir un comentario tan completo! 💛 Gracias por elegirnos y por destacar tantos detalles de la experiencia. Nos llena de orgullo saber que el recorrido dejó un recuerdo tan especial. ¡Ojalá podamos volver a acompañarte en tu próxima visita a Mendoza! 🍷✨

    Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.

    How much does Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mendoza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mendoza is not rushed.

    Is Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mendoza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mendoza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mendoza and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mendoza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mendoza?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mendoza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include High Mountain, Aconcagua and Inca Bridge, Andes High Mountain full day Tour, Horseback riding and roast in the mountains of Mendoza. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mendoza?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mendoza?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata?

    +

    Included: Transfer from central accommodation; In-vehicle air conditioning; Jean Bousquet winery; Lunch; and Stops at historic and panoramic points in the area. Not included: Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 86 listed pickup locations in and around Mendoza. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Uco Valley and Cordon del Plata if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Mendoza. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
