water and mountain - Atuel Canyon, an encounter with nature, both the river and the dam. On the dam, kayaking between the mountain entrances is a must. Also the zip line over the water, and rafting, all recommended.

Excellent city - Both San Rafael (city) and the Atuel Canyon are 10 points. To get from San Rafael to the Canyon there are 2 impeccable routes, it is convenient to go on one and return on the other. There are many cabins in San Rafael to stay.

LACK OF INFORMATION. - Everything is beautiful, very hot, be prepared, I traveled by plane and I don't understand how such a touristy place is, the local people have so little knowledge and I don't know why Google doesn't mention the Iselin bus line that runs routes from Mendoza to San Rafael and from there on route 173 all over Valle Grande, there is no Uber or any application, the taxis are so bad, unpunctual and they say they don't know the places, they run up a mountain and they get lost, without telephone signals and only Persolal eje.Cacheuta.

The best investment for everyone, traveling and seeing wonderful places like San Rafael Mendoza - Stunning views and landscapes, an unmissable walk for the whole family. Along with all the fun and adventures that await in Valle Grande, rafting, rappelling, zip lining, climbing, diving in the Valle Grande reservoir or Los Reyunos.

Excellent experience - Everything is excellent. The guide Gastón is spectacular, and super punctual. Additional recreational activities, which are added separately ($7,500 approx each) are also very good (rafting, catamaran, Tibetan bridges and zip line)

Beautiful trip, but bad luck. - Feedback I would like to give a feedback on the tour to Actuel Canyon. We loved the Guide and the driver. And we'd have ⁇ the ride a lot more if we hadn't had the luck of being the last to pick up the van. That is why we have the last seats left in the last row. These are small seats, tight and almost windowless. The distance to the front seat is minimal. During the descent to the canyon, we could not see or hear even half of what the Guide was commenting on. It was extremely frustrating, and there was nothing we could do. Another passenger came to the point of taking a picture of what they were seeing to show us. The fact is that we paid the same as the other passengers who were sitting with space and window. And that's not fair. Anyone sitting in the back of the van has an uncomfortable and rather limited experience. And paying the normal price. There is no way to ignore the fact that this is a very big difference. Maybe you shouldn't sell the 4 seats in the bottom and charge a little more than the other places. Who goes to the bottom doesn't choose. The bottom line is that he chooses those who are collected last. And that was our misfortune. We came back with the feeling that we would have to go again to be able to enjoy the experience fully. Unfortunately.

Truck in bad condition - The driver and the guide were a 10. But the truck was in poor condition, it did not have rear shock absorbers, which could have caused an accident but luckily it was only two punctured tires and a 3 hour delay to return.
