About this experience
Prepare for an unforgettable day that brings together the best of the Mendocino mountains: high-impact adventure and absolute rest in a unique natural environment.
The experience begins in the morning with the transfer from your hotel in Mendoza City to the precordillera. Upon arriving in Cacheuta, the day kicks off with an exciting 45-minute zip-lining circuit, where you will fly over stunning landscapes surrounded by hills and native vegetation. Then, you will have around 3 free hours to immerse yourself in the pools of the Cacheuta Thermal Park, relax in its warm waters, and contemplate the immensity of the Andes.
The dose of pure adrenaline comes with rafting on the Mendoza River. After being equipped with a wetsuit, helmet, and vest, and receiving the safety briefing, you will embark on an unforgettable approximately 1-hour descent in the water, paddling as a team through the river rapids. A complete and perfectly balanced day to connect.
