Full-Day Andes Hike & Argentine Barbecue Experience

About this experience

Start the day hiking in the Cordón del Plata, with a route and pace adapted to the group so you can experience the Andes at a level that feels right for you. Then, after several hours in the mountains, continue the experience at our mountain home with a traditional Argentine asado.

Rather than combining a fixed hike with a standard restaurant lunch, the entire day is organized as one experience. You’ll spend the first part exploring the mountains with a professional guide, then sit down to appetizers, fire-cooked meat, side dishes, Mendoza wine, and dessert prepared by us.

It’s a full day that brings together two essential parts of Mendoza: experiencing the Andes on foot and sharing a real Argentine asado around the table.
