| Cañón del Atuel |
 |
| Los burros |
Our day started with a brief tour of San Rafael and a refreshing swim in the Atuel River. After those planned activities we made an unexpected stop. Our progress towards the canyon was thwarted by a group of donkeys that appeared in the middle of the road. They efficiently stopped the flow of traffic and approached the windows. The trio made short work of any treat that was offered up and took a particular liking to crackers.

| Las Gemelas |
We weaved along the narrow road and enjoyed the view along the way. A mixture of interesting terrain and vegetation kept our minds off the scorching heat as we made our way into the canyon.
 |
| Formations |
We descended into the Atuel Canyon to witness some stunning formations and amazing color variation. Our guide was a little overzealous in pointing out what he saw in any average rock.

| Desert skies |
The last leg of our longer than expected, fifteen hour tour was spent speeding across the plains of Mendoza.
 |
| San Huberto Vinyard |
We spent our final day making our obligatory rounds to a few of the vinyards in the world famous region. These impressive barrels were the highlight and the free for all wine tasting that followed was the lowlight.
