Itinerary and highlights
We left early in the morning. I will pick you up from wherever you are staying in the city. We travel through three mountain ranges: the Precordillera Mountain Range, the Silver Mountain Range and the Main Cordillera of the Andes. We have five stops planned, but we can add others, since this is a private tour just for you.
An impressive viewpoint that overlooks the extensive Potrerillos reservoir, where we can see the three mountain ranges, a large reservoir and, sometimes, sailboats.
We continue entering the mountains and make a brief stop in the town of Uspallata.
Going further into the Andes, we stop at the Inca Bridge, a geological formation with hot springs and ruins of an old hotel.
From there, we continue the trip to Aconcagua Provincial Park.
At this panoramic point, we will do a low difficulty and very short walk to reach the viewpoint on the south face that offers impressive views of the imposing highest mountain in the entire American continent, Aconcagua.
From that point we then begin the return trip to Uspallata for lunch.
Once in Uspallata, we will stop for lunch at a barbecue restaurant.
Later, we begin the return to Mendoza.
Once in the city, we will drop our passengers off at their respective hotels or meeting places.
