Potrerillos will be the first stop, where you can take beautiful pictures, breathe the fresh mountain air, buy a snack and admire the lake, the Potrerillos Reservoir.

This valley was an important Inca settlement, with vestiges of its road network (Qhapaq Ñan). It was also key in the Andes Crossing, when General San Martin and his army crossed these lands in 1817 on their way to independence from Chile

40 min

Located in the middle of the Andes Mountain Range, about 180 km from Mendoza, Los Penitentes is a paradise for snow and trekking lovers. Its name comes from the rock formations that, with their peculiar silhouette, look like a procession of monks in penitence.

60 min

Located 2,720 meters above sea level, the Puente del Inca is one of the most impressive natural formations in Mendoza. This rock bridge, covered in shades of yellow and orange due to its mineral-rich thermal waters, was naturally formed thousands of years ago by the erosion of the Las Cuevas River.

50 min

The Aconcagua Viewpoint is the perfect spot to admire the majesty of Mount Aconcagua, the highest mountain in America at 6,961 meters high. From this viewpoint, you get a spectacular view of the south face of Aconcagua, with its imposing glaciers and snow-capped peaks. It is a mandatory stop for those traveling to the border with Chile or visiting the Aconcagua Provincial Park,

60 min

At 3,185 meters above sea level, Las Cuevas is the last Argentine village before crossing into Chile through the Cristo Redentor International Pass. Located in the heart of the Andes Mountains, this small town is famous for its alpine architecture, its mountainous environment and its proximity to Christ the Redeemer of the Andes, a monument that symbolizes peace between Argentina and Chile.
