About this experience

I propose to explore together on an unforgettable tour the three mountain ranges of Mendoza: the Precordillera, El Cordón del Plata and Los Andes. Each one with unique characteristics and colors. Let's discover the magic that lies within them! Within the Villavicencio nature reserve we will be surrounded by native fauna and flora. We will stop at high viewpoints with incredible panoramic views, even above the clouds. We will get to know the colorful Inca Bridge and the south face of the majestic Aconcagua mountain, the highest on the entire American continent.
On the way back we will stop at an incredible place to enjoy a deluxe picnic with various local products and toast with Mendocino wine.

Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

The pick-up is made from the city of Mendoza or surrounding areas at the hotel or accommodation requested. Once picked up, we move towards the north of the city and the outskirts of it until entering the Villavicencio Reserve.

2
Stop 2

In this nature reserve we will make different stops:

We will stop at two viewpoints at different times and heights on the way up a winding gravel route, to begin to appreciate the imposing mountain from above and take photos.

It must also be taken into account that at any point on the mountain route, wild animals such as guanacos, foxes or condors, among others, will appear.

Once we reach the highest point of the Precordillera, our first mountain range, we will make a stop at the "Cruz de Paramillos". Incredible panoramic point with views of the Cordón del Plata and the Andes Mountains.

After crossing the roof of the first mountain range, always made of gravel, we will make another stop at the "Balcón de Villavicencio", where we will find an incredible stone fall in the shape of a dry waterfall.

From there, we continue descending through the Precordillera until we reach Uspallata.

3
Stop 3

In this small town we will make a stop to have a coffee or eat a snack and use the toilets.

From there, we continue the trip to Puente del Inca.

4
Stop 4

At this iconic stop, we will approach the viewpoint of the natural Inca bridge, "designed and painted" by nature with a variable color palette. We will understand how it was formed and we will have time to take photos.

From there, we continue the trip to Aconcagua Provincial Park.

5
Stop 5

At this panoramic point, we will do a low-difficulty and very short-distance hike to reach the viewpoint of the south face of the imposing highest mountain in the entire American continent, Aconcagua.

From that point we then begin the return trip to Uspallata for lunch.

6
Stop 6

Once we leave the Aconcagua Provincial Park, we begin the return along national route number 7 and we will enjoy a deluxe picnic to reach the town of Uspallata.

After this, we will begin the return trip to the city.

7
Stop 7

Once we arrive in the city of Mendoza or surrounding areas, we will drop our passengers off at their respective hotels or meeting places.
