We travel Route 40 until we reach Chos Malal, in the north of the province of Neuquén, there we visit the historic center, Fort IV, the Enrique Dewey general store, converted into a museum, we enjoy the fantastic Don Costa artisan ice cream and we know the Des de la Torre winery, where the wine chosen by Pope Francis is produced.
It is a grand reserve malbec, aged for two years in French oak, of which 1000 bottles are exported a year to the Vatican.
It has been a great experience for us, we have enjoyed each place in Chos Malal, savoring its great history and its beautiful landscapes.
We continue towards Mendoza to visit what we like the most, the wine route.
