Detailed itinerary

The experience begins by traveling along Provincial Route 86, where we will enjoy this incredible adventure through the landscapes of Cacheuta until we cross the tunnel that connects this city to Potrerillos. We will admire the wonderful views of the Cordón del Plata, Mendoza's main water source, and the picturesque Potrerillos Reservoir, a mirror of crystal-clear waters between the mountains.

We will continue along this path, passing through tunnels and bridges, until we reach the Uspallata Valley, where we will make a strategic stop.

Continuing the route, we prepare for the high point of the departure: the Aconcagua Provincial Park, where we will take a walk of approximately two hours, to the viewpoint of Laguna de Horcones, where we will be able to see the South Wall and the summit of the highest mountain in America (6,962 meters above sea level).

After a wonderful experience we returned to the hotel.
