Discover the majesty of the Andes Mountains on this scenic tour through Mendoza, visiting the iconic Puente del Inca and the Aconcagua viewpoint
Delve into the heart of the Andes Mountains with this fascinating scenic tour that will reveal the most breathtaking landscapes of the Mendoza province. The route winds along the namesake river via the iconic National Route 7, offering spectacular views of the Cordon del Plata and the serene waters of the Potrerillos reservoir. As you ascend into the high mountains, you will discover settlements with a deep historical legacy such as Uspallata, the cradle of the Huarpe pre-Hispanic roots, and picturesque Andean villages that frame the grandeur of the region.
The pinnacle of this eminently scenic experience will lead you to witness true geological wonders. Marvel at the curious formations of Puente del Inca, an astonishing natural arch sculpted by time that shelters unique copper-toned thermal springs. Further ahead, at high altitude, you will reach the privileged viewpoint of Cerro Aconcagua, the undisputed colossus of America, where the immensity of the snow-capped peaks will leave you breathless. The journey will culminate in Las Cuevas, nearing the border limits.
During the day, you will have free time to recharge and enjoy the authentic local gastronomy at a typical mountain establishment.
