Recommendations

Key stops on the Atuel Canyon and Diamante Circuit

Designed so you leave the farm with a plan in hand and more time enjoying than sorting logistics.

Valle Grande and Devil's Throat

The most photogenic stops on the route. Valle Grande reservoir has spectacular viewpoints and Devil's Throat impresses with its scale.

Los Reyunos and El Tigre

Two spots on the Diamante Circuit worth including if you have time. Water, mountains and scenery on another scale.

Lunch at Valle Grande

There are grills and simple restaurants by the lake. Not gourmet but the setting makes it worth it. Better to book in high season.

What to bring for the day

Sunscreen, a layer (wind shifts fast in the canyon), comfortable shoes and water. The sun is strong over the water mirrors.
