Rodeo is a colourful town surrounded by a spectacular mountain range, fruit plantations and irrigated lands. It has sunny weather most of the year with very little rain.

To the east of Rodeo stands the Cuesta del Viento Dam and Reservoir, with beach resorts, accommodation and windsurf schools by its shores. The dam is considered to be a world class wind-surfing spot, with consistent daily winds of up to 120 km/hr. The wind is caused by a kind of funnel formed where the air currents enter the valley. As the way gets narrower, the wind speed goes up, making the dam one of the best sites in the world for water sports, especially windsurf and kitesurf. The sailing season goes from October to April.

Apart from all the water sports at the dam, Rodeo also offers adventure activities such as horseback riding, rafting and many more.

Rodeo's Town Hall exhibits the region's archaeological collection; and about 20 km to the north, at Angualasto, there is an Archaeological Municipal Museum exhibiting a mummy, among other archaeology collections. 15 km to the west you can visit Pismanta with its thermal baths and spa.
