Los Molles: Hot Springs, Horseback Riding and Scenery

The Termas de Los Molles and a horseback riding excursion starting in town give Los Molles its distinctive character; nearby, regional cuisine and the river and mountain scenery of the Valle de Los Molles add to the travel experience. When considering a specific hotel offer, check its location and the amenities that matter for your trip.

Hot Springs and Hotels in the Valley

The Termas de Los Molles have mineral-rich water and specially prepared facilities and services. There are also hotels with thermal pools in the Valle de Los Molles. For planning purposes, it is worth distinguishing between the two: a visit to the Termas is an excursion, while a thermal pool at a hotel is part of that particular property’s amenities. So check in advance whether the Termas are currently accessible and what amenities the hotel you choose actually offers; hotel availability and amenities may change.

Horseback Riding, Hiking and Sport Fishing

The Valle de Los Molles is characterized by river and mountain scenery. A horseback riding excursion starting in Los Molles takes you through valleys, along rivers and over routes surrounded by mountains. The tour is easy, and guides and baqueanos accompany participants throughout. Check the excursion details and the operator’s availability before your trip.

In autumn, mountain hikes are a good way to explore the valley and its landscapes; sport fishing is also possible. Both activities take place in the Valle, while the horseback riding excursion starts in Los Molles. This makes it possible to weigh up travel time, type of activity and location separately. Check seasonal conditions before your trip.

Dining and Regional Cuisine

The Valle de Los Molles has restaurants serving regional and international cuisine, as well as teahouses. The restaurant at Hotel Termas Lahuen Có, near Los Molles, also serves visitors passing through the town. No hotel stay or reservation is required; meals are served from breakfast through dinner. Since operating details can change, check them before your visit if you are planning your day around them.

The restaurant cooks over a fire. Ingredients include chivo from Malargüe, herbs from the valley, Malbec and olive oil from southern Mendoza. Ingredients and the menu may vary.

Getting to the Valle de Los Molles

The Valle de Los Molles is about 60 km from the city of Malargüe. The drive there via Ruta 222 takes around 45 minutes; the entire route is paved. The distance and driving time provide a general guide for getting around the region. Since road conditions may change, check the route before setting off so your plans reflect current conditions.
