4-Day Trip to the Heart of the Borgean Labyrinth in Mendoza: Literature & Wines
Overview
It is a journey to the senses and emotion: it unites the literary with oenology and tourism. We enjoy a full afternoon at Finca Los Alamos, where we have lunch and have a Literary Workshop looking at the labyrinth that was built in honor of Jorge Luis Borges.
It is a personalized trip: it is possible to incorporate and choose other authors of your choice. As well as add days and change the excursions they want.
Wine tourism activities have everything to excite wine lovers: visit a winery, bike through the vineyards, tastings, create your own blend or be a sommelier for a few hours! That added to one of the literary gatherings, which will be accompanied by a tasting of 3 wines from a boutique winery and a regional snack.
It is a trip very different from the conventional ones, with many more activities and excursions, plus the plus of the experiences of the Workshop and the literary gatherings.

El diseño del laberinto es excelente. Desde la torre la vista es magnífica. El área de explicaciones y recuerdos está pésimamente conservado. Da lastima ver eso tan deteriorado. Los sanitarios imposibles de usar. Una pena
