Mendoza is well known by reputation, Argentina’s wine country, the Andes at its doorstep, one of South America’s most celebrated regions. Getting here is simpler than many travelers expect. A direct domestic flight from Buenos Aires<\/strong> lands in Mendoza in under two hours, and from the moment guests arrive, Awasi takes care of everything else.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The gateway to Awasi Mendoza is Governor Francisco Gabrielli International Airport (MDZ), located just north of Mendoza city and served by Argentina’s main domestic carriers: Aerol\u00edneas Argentinas, LATAM, GOL, JetSMART, and Flybondi. Flights from Buenos Aires operate throughout the day with a journey time of approximately two hours, making Mendoza one of the easiest regional destinations to reach from the Argentine capital.<\/p>\n

For international travelers, Buenos Aires serves as the main connection point. Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) and Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) both offer onward domestic connections to MDZ, with frequent departures across multiple carriers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mendoza’s position near the Andes makes it a natural complement to a Chile itinerary. From Santiago, guests can cross into Argentina via the Paso Los Libertadores, one of the most dramatic mountain crossings in South America, climbing through Andean passes before descending into the vineyard landscapes of Mendoza.<\/p>\n

The overland journey takes approximately three to four hours by private transfer. Awasi can coordinate arrivals from the Chilean side for guests combining both countries in a single trip.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From MDZ, Awasi’s private transfer covers the short journey south to Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo in approximately 30 minutes. Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo is one of Argentina’s most prestigious wine sub-regions, and the approach to the lodge, through open vineyard country at the Andean foothills, is an arrival worth savoring.<\/p>\n

All transfers are included as part of the fully hosted experience, coordinated in advance around each guest’s flight schedule.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Awasi Mendoza sits on a 55-acre vineyard estate in Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo, 30 minutes south of Mendoza city<\/strong>. Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo is Argentina’s premier Malbec-producing sub-region, and Awasi’s 17 private villas are set directly within it, surrounded by vines, open skies, and the snow-capped Andes on the horizon. It is close enough to the city to be accessible; removed enough to feel entirely its own.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Mendoza pairs naturally with Buenos Aires \u2014 two hours apart by air, and two very different sides of Argentina. Guests combining both cities often fly into Buenos Aires, spend time in the capital, then continue west to Awasi Mendoza. The lodge also works well as part of a Chile and Argentina journey, given its proximity to Santiago.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
