Take the city bus to in direction of [[Agrelo]], 30 minutes away for 4 pesos (May 2012, not reliable!). Ask the bus driver to drop you at the crossing of the RN 40 with the RN 7, before Agrelo, at the YPF gas station (''Gasolinera de la Ruta 7''), also known as '''Parador Perdriel'''. You will be dropped 200 m before that same straight road (Ruta Nacional 7) that goes to Chile. Many of the cars stop at this gas station. Ask around at the gas station or walk to the crossing to filter out traffic going south.

Southwards (Valle Grande, Ruta Nacional 40): you can take a city bus until Lujan or Agrelo, or try hitching straight from the bus terminal in the center, as the highway passes there). Be warned that waiting times are very long on this stretch of RN40, as vehicles are doing short trips. Also the route itself is too wide and fast to hitch successfully on. Consider a bus to further down from Lujan, or just go to the YPF gas station before Agrelo (Parador Perdriel) and ask people till you get a ride. There's also a gas station next to Agrelo beyond the Ruta 7 with Ruta 40 crossing, which is also an YPF. === North towards [[San Juan]] province and city, [[La Rioja]] === This is via the Ruta Nacional 40 northward. Take the bus to the Mendoza Airport and stand at the main road, or walk along the RN 40 towards El Borbollón, where there's a Bandera Blanca gas station on the road. Alternatively, take city bus 133 or 131 via El Plumerillo to El Borbollón and enter the same gas station Bandera Blanca via the back. Ask around for cars going to San Juan.
