Valle del Conlara sits between the Comechingones and Puntanas sierras in western San Luis. More than 300 days of sun and historically high air ionisation made Villa de Merlo one of Argentina’s valued wellness retreats. Jesuit heritage is unusually intact.
Merlo at 900 m: trekking, riding, waterfalls; Rincón del Este for private houses. La Toma is the ónix town with a river spa Sierra de las Quijadas National Park, 120 km: red sandstone canyons. San Francisco del Monte de Oro, 18th-century Jesuit church.
Boutique lodges and posadas in Merlo’s Rincón del Este
The Conlara Valley cuisine combines garden produce —tomatoes, kid goat, goat cheeses— with the Cuyo tradition of spit-roasted kid and sierra charcuterie. High-altitude San Luis wines are gaining recognition. Several Rincón del Este restaurants in Merlo serve regional cuisine with local ingredients; boutique posadas often offer breakfasts with artisan valley products.
