La Rioja (province)

Hike through national parks, go hang gliding off a mountain and enjoy the nightlife in this Argentinian province that produces some of the country’s best red wines. 

Head to La Rioja, an Argentinian province in the Andes Mountain range, for a memorable holiday. Study ancient geologic formations, trek through deep gorges and spend time in cultural museums celebrating the history of the region. 

La Rioja is known for its winemaking and mining zones. Learn about La Rioja’s history of agriculture and mining while venturing through the vineyards and mining towns of the province. The tourism industry is steadily growing here and more and more young residents are undertaking hospitality training courses, so expect to see friendly faces enticing you to stay and explore just a little while longer. 

For cultural pursuits, head for La Rioja, the province’s capital city. Wander the narrow streets lined with small shops and family-run cafés, and spend some time in the Museo Folklórico

to examine artifacts from the area’s past. Stay out past dark and mingle with locals in bustling bars and casinos.

Discover the area’s mining history at Chilecito. This mining zone at the bottom of Famatina Mountain offers outdoor sports such as hiking, paragliding and mountain biking. Take a train to the nearest mine and head up to the Portezuelo Vantage Point for stunning bird’s-eye views.

La Rioja’s enchanting national parks are scattered with ancient geologic formations. Journey through Talampaya National Park with an experienced guide to view the reddish canyons and jagged rock formations.

One of the lesser traveled areas, Vallecito Encantado, promises thrilling walks through dusty dunes and fertile green valleys. Another option is the Cuesta de Miranda. Here, take the shuttle to the Bordo Atravesado ridge to gaze out over the mountains.

Pack plenty of light clothes, as La Rioja’s climate is dry and hot year round. Stay hydrated and wear copious amounts of sunscreen, especially when exploring the vast nature parks where opportunities to pick up new supplies will be few and far between. 

Come to La Rioja to discover soul-stirring mountainous terrain, learn about the realities of locals’ lives and try wines from one of Argentina’s oldest wine-producing regions.
