Day Trip to Aicuña

Are you up for a journey along the most breathtaking road in Argentina? Join us on this expedition to explore the Cuesta de Miranda viewpoint and Aicuña, where we'll also visit a charming village tucked away in the province.

Description

We'll depart from your Villa Union hotel at the designated time, setting our course towards the east. Our route will lead us onto National Routes 76 and 40, where the latter will guide us to Aicuña, a picturesque village in Argentina's La Rioja province. This small town, with a population of about 400, offers a glimpse into a historic way of life.

Strolling through the village's streets, you'll gain insight into Aicuña's history and its notable wine production. After our village exploration, we'll pause for you to eat the lunch you packed.

Following lunch, we'll continue on RN-40, making our way to the winding marvel of Cuesta de Miranda, which is at an altitude of 2000 meters (6,560 feet). Along this route, we'll stop at various viewpoints that provide impressive views of the reddish landscapes of La Rioja province.

After enjoying the views at Cuesta de Miranda, we'll retrace our route along RN-40 back to Villa Union. You can expect to reach your hotel approximately 5 hours after our departure.
