Full day trekking & Barbecue local experience
Description
You will experience a full day regional tour. The activity will begin in the Front Mountain Range -at 2,400 meters above sea level- with a low-difficulty 3-hour hike. During the tour we will get to know the typical way of life of the locals, with their livestock and their pace of life, so different from that of the city. We will also see local wildlife: condors, guanacos and foxes. And as we reach higher altitudes, we will be amazed by the great views of Potrerillos, its dam and the pre-mountain range. Anything else? Of course, here is the best part: upon finishing the hike, we will arrive at the authentic mountain hut of Daniel, our gaucho friend. There we will be welcomed for a delicious asado criollo, with the best Argentinean meat. Although if you would rather not eat meat, and we will prepare a vegetarian menu for you which –we are not lying– is so tasty that we always have to plan some extra servings… And the must-try: we will serve our asado with pure-bred Mendoza wine.

Hi! We had an absolutely amazing time. Daniela was an incredible, kind and knowledge guide. It was a beautiful day! Can you send me her phone number so that she can send me some photos on her phone that she took?
Hi Ari! Thank you so much for your message — we’re really happy to hear you had such an amazing day 😊 We’ve already passed your request on to Daniela and she’s sending you the photos she took. She’ll contact you directly so you can receive them. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you again in the mountains! Un abrazo grande, Vanina y Joaquín – Destino Montaña 🏔️
Great views, scenic area, the hike was easily manageable, food was excellent and they were very accommodating of me as a vegetarian. But what made this trip outstanding was the team, from our contact Joaquín, our guide Christina, our cook Walter and our additional driver Vanina because we made a mistake communicating, everyone was truly invested in making sure we had an excellent experience.
Thank you so much, Michaela! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the hike, the views, and the mountain lunch — and we’re especially glad the vegetarian option worked well for you. Your words about the team mean a lot to us. Christina, Walter, Vanina and I all work with the same goal: to make every guest feel cared for and to make each experience memorable, even when there are little communication mix-ups along the way. It was a pleasure having you with us in the Andes, and you’re always welcome back for another adventure. Warm regards, Destino Montaña 🏔️
This is a unique experience that combines physical activity, nature and real Argentine's food (Asado). Matias drove and guided us in the beautiful Aconcagua park. It snowed and usually cold which made this 10km hike more interesting. We ended with a real Asado meal (not a lunch bag) with a good Malbec. Matias and Walter were awesome!
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the hike, the snow, and the real Asado experience. Matías and Walter will be happy to hear your kind words. Hope to see you again for another adventure!
A once in a lifetime experience, and even better with the help of the guys from Alta Montaña. Always attentive to everything. The landscape from the top is spectacular.
Great day trip into the mountains from Mendoza. Clear communication prior to the trip, we were pucked up right on time. Our guide Lucas was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We started the hike with another group, but they let the ability of the clients dictate the pace, so we split from them and we're able to hike further/higher. We met back up at the end to enjoy some delicious asado and wine. I would totally recommend this trip if you enjoy time in nature.
We left early for the Frontal Mountain Range. We arrived at the post, where we then had lunch, and there we began the ascent to Mailhos Hill. It was a quiet walk with our guide, Matías. Seeing condors flying over us and contact with farm animals was what I enjoyed the most. After a delicious meal and a short rest, we returned to the city. Super recommended experience.
A wonderful experience! Pablo was an excellent guide! When we needed to adjust the hike for my mother, Pablo very quickly pivoted plans. He also brought extra warm clothes which was great since we weren’t prepared. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Would highly recommend the tour!
Very good trekking option! Our guide Pablo gave us an incredible experience. Both the route and the food were very good. I would definitely buy another Destino Montaña experience again. Highly recommended!
This was an amazing experience. From the moment I reached out, the team was attentive and accommodating. I ended up doing the hike solo because my friend got sick. But my guide Fernando was simply wonderful and put me right at ease. He was so friendly and acknowledge about the area, wildlife and nature. The barbecue was delicious and the views … just wow. Definitely a highlight of my trip.
Great activity to do something different in the mountains! The treiking was great, we were half out of breath due to the height but it is possible and finishing it is a pleasure. Everything is super organized on the part of the company and they pay attention to all the details. Very delicious roast to finish and wine! Super recommended!
