A Geologist's Delight
This is a top pick! ... , so we were more than happy to soak up the sunshine and enjoy the warm air as we wandered the tree-lined streets. San Rafael is located in a very arid area and relies totally on irrigation from the Atuel and Diamante rivers which originate in the eastern ...
7th April San Rafael To San Jose De Jacheal
Awake at the usual stupid o clock, showered and straight to breky for the usual arid bread and pastries. The rear tyre is shot to pieces so I took a new set down to el tyre shop to get them replaced. I was first in so Juan got straight on with it ...

Wine Country - take 2
... we had an extra day, so it was some consolation to losing our flights to head back to two places where I felt exactly that. San Rafael felt like a total bust the first time we went there but after doing the bike tour of the wineries it gave a ...
Its a Long Way to San Rafael!

Retour dans la région du vin/Back in Mendoza

Kamperen? Nu even niet!
... maar zeggen zondag dat dit hooguit twee keer per jaar voorkomt. Zondag en vandaag, en ze voorspellen nog meer.... Toen de bus in San Rafael stopte, stond het hier blank en kwam het nog steeds met meer dan bakken tegelijk uit de hemel vallen. Aangezien de ...
San Rafael
Both Diego and I had booked into the same hostel in San Rafael so we walked the few blocks from the bus station and checked in. I can't remember the name of the hostel, but it was an HI hostel and it has the smallest toilet in the world!! I'm really ...
Official Start from the San Rafael Reserve

San Rafael - Day 21
Zapallar - San Rafael Miles - 495 The first day that I haven't woken up without an alarm, most uncomfortable bed so far! Was like sleeping on the floor and the pillow was as thin as an after eight mint! Up at 6.45am so we will be late for breakfast today. ...
Canon de Atuel and San Rafael
... from the terminal. Recommended! Only pesos 17 and a very good vibe. Beautiful backyard area and good people. Ended up staying 3 nights in San Rafael, just because we liked it so much. We did Canon de Atuel the day after, a great trip that lasted from ...
Wine Tasting!
... AM is when the party is just getting started in Argentina! Yikes. We are old. We spent a lot of our time in San Rafael just sitting around in the heat (it probably reached 100 F a few times while we were there) and watching movies on Jero´s ...
Caves and canyons
Our bus journey to San Rafael was interrupted by a little drama. We got a semi-cama bus for the 14 hour journey and a couple of hours after heading off we came up against a roadblock. We were delayed for an hour by protesters, no idea ...
Cavernas de las Brujas and San Rafael
... Dave got annoyed that they kept getting their geology wrong. After a last quiet night in Malargue we made our way to San Rafael the next morning. We hired out some rickety old bikes and cycled out to do some wine tasting. The opening ...

Tesis final
Have been writing my diploma thesis here in San Rafael. Made several trips to places like El Nihuil (nice place for chilling, right next to the lake), Las Leñas (after 6 years without skiing, i really loved to ski there and since it was the first day, ...
More vineyards...
On the way to San Rafael, home of some of the oldest vineyards in the country, we pass through Tunuyán and Tupungato again, and the small towns of La Consulta, San Carlos, and Pareditas. There are many dams and lakes in this area, providing plenty of ...

Cool R-r-r-r-river

Resting with wine and a canyon
I finally got out of Patagonia. San Rafael is in the region of Cuyo famous in Argentina for its vineyard. For me, growing grapes there is still a mystery. The place is very dry. The plants hardly grow. In the landscape you will only find steppe. Anyway, ...
More Wine Towns
HEading further south, took a bus for about 3 hours to San Rafael, another wine town, very much like San Rafeal. The hostel turned to be a longwalk out of town, so once I got there just chilled by the pool for a while and then tried to organise a day tour ...
