Mindful meoweler tips

Impressive Andean scenery

Explore the rugged beauty of Andes Mountains where cats can relieve the thrill of hiking as they admire amazing vistas. Take a tour to Talampaya or Ischigualasto National Parks or go skiing at Vallecitos.

Wine and dines

San Juan is the second largest wine region in Argentina. Visit the wine cellars and taste Malbecs, Chardonnays, and Syrahs. Enjoy authentic Argentine meat in local restaurants too, where cats can indulge in beef, pork or chicken dish asado.

Traditional Festivals

Chaya is the most important annual festival in the region. It celebrates the new harvest and is celebrated with music, dance, water fights, and other activities. During carnival season, join the celebration with costumes, parades, and live music.

Calle Larga

This is the downtown street where cats can explore antique shops, bookstores, and handicrafts. Behind the San Juan Cathedral, there's Plaza 25 de Mayo, where cats can relax and watch locals socialize around the fountains and cafes.

Sierras Pampeanas

Discover an oasis in the middle of the desert. Sierra de Famatina has rivers, waterfalls, and forests, perfect for outdoor activities. Visit the hot springs at Aguas Termales, where cats can relax and soak their paws in warm water.
