Itinerary
Embark on a unique experience through the imposing Andes Mountains
Embark on a unique experience through the imposing Andes Mountains, the cultural and natural heart of Mendoza. At each stage of this tour, the winding roads reveal amazing landscapes and jewels that combine human ingenuity, such as the Potrerillos Dam, with natural wonders such as the iconic Inca Bridge and the imposing Aconcagua Hill. We start early, bordering the Mendoza River along International Route N°7, where you will be greeted by spectacular views of the Cordón del Plata and the Potrerillos Dam water mirror. As we advance, we arrive at Uspallata, a valley that treasures the pre-Hispanic roots of the Huarpes. The path takes us through the towns of Picheuta, Polvaredas and Punta de Vacas, to the legendary former ski resort Los Penitentes. But the real show awaits you at Puente del Inca, an amazing natural architectural work with thermal springs that seem taken from a dream. A few kilometers from Puente del Inca, at 2750 meters above sea level, you will find the viewpoint of Cerro Aconcagua, the giant of America with 6959 meters that dominates the landscape. We continue to Las Cuevas, on the border with Chile, reaching 3200 meters above sea level. At noon, we break for lunch (lunch not included) in a typical restaurant in the area, where you can taste the best of regional cuisine before heading back in the afternoon. This tour is not just a trip along mountain roads, it is an encounter with the essence of the Andes, where each stop and each landscape connect you with history, culture and the greatness of nature.
