High Mountain with Walking Panoramic Stops
Description
I experienced one of Mendoza’s most emblematic routes with the High Mountain Tour, a scenic tour ideal for all ages. This experience is designed to enjoy the most imposing landscapes of the Andes without the need for trekking. The road follows the RN 7, passing through Potrerillos, Uspallata, Puente del Inca, Miador Aconcagua and Las Cuevas, where you will have enough time to take pictures, observe the environment and enjoy nature. Only if the climatic conditions are suitable will we ascend by vehicle to the Christ the Redeemer at 4,200 masl. The experience is accompanied by drivers and guides, renowned for their warmth, knowledge and attention to detail. You will travel in enabled vehicles, ensuring a safe and pleasant day. This tour stands out for being a panoramic, accessible and excellent value for money option, ideal for those who want to know the mountain range without making intense physical efforts.

Excellent walk, very well organized Everything within expectations
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra muchísimo que hayas disfrutado el tour de Alta Montaña 😊 Esperamos verte pronto nuevamente por Mendoza. ¡Un abrazo
We have enjoyed the whole excursion helped by incredible landscapes, Daniel (an excellent and very responsible driver) and Valeria (very friendly, excellent explanations and very attentive to the whole group) , Beyond congratulating them we allow ourselves a comment regarding the music- It would be good if its volume is a little lower and that "softer" themes are chosen that better accompany the contemplation of a unique nature that gives us Mendoza
Excellent experience! Giuliano and Walter some kingpins! Recommended!
Super recommended. Luckily, we had to make the excursion with a beautiful day that accompanied each landscape. Valeria was explaining all the most interesting points of the tour and the very friendly and fun driver, was putting songs for us to sing and make the trip more bearable. I recommend to go comfortable and with a coat for when you arrive to Cristo bursting be able to enjoy the landscape well (area of very wind and cold)

All tourism companies in Mendoza (city) offer the same basic excursions. This is the main one in my opinion. We were fortunate to access Christ with snow in March. You know Uspallata briefly and at that stop you will find a bar and warehouse with good clean bathrooms. Potrerillos may interest you because of its important dam between mountains. Bridge of the Inca may be interesting. Dessert strawberry is the climb to Christ. The road is already pure enjoyment. Extraordinary visuals of the mountain with a very experienced and friendly driver (Daniel) and throughout the journey you will have the friendly attention of Claudia, expert guide, Sanmartiniana diehard and Mendoza by profession. I don't forget Aldana, the saleswoman. Micro quality , good vision and comfortable even for "seniors". Midday lunch (payable separately) is taken at Las Cuevas: very good quality homemade food. I recommend the company.
✨ ¡Muchísimas gracias por tu reseña tan completa y detallada! Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutaron la excursión de Alta Montaña y que tuvieron la suerte de llegar al Cristo Redentor con nieve en marzo, ¡una experiencia realmente única! ❄️🏔️ Gracias por destacar el trabajo de Daniel como chofer, y la dedicación de Claudia como guía, siempre compartiendo su pasión por la historia y por Mendoza. También le haremos llegar tu mención a Aldana, que estará feliz de saberlo. 😊 ¡Gracias por recomendarnos y por elegir Gora Turismo para vivir esta aventura! 💙 — Equipo de Gora Turismo
