Description
Start the day hiking in the Cordón del Plata, with a route and pace adapted to the group so you can experience the Andes at a level that feels right for you. Then, after several hours in the mountains, continue the experience at our mountain home with a traditional Argentine asado.
Rather than combining a fixed hike with a standard restaurant lunch, the entire day is organized as one experience. You’ll spend the first part exploring the mountains with a professional guide, then sit down to appetizers, fire-cooked meat, side dishes, Mendoza wine, and dessert prepared by us.
It’s a full day that brings together two essential parts of Mendoza: experiencing the Andes on foot and sharing a real Argentine asado around the table.

Unforgettable and personal.
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?

Great views, scenic area,...
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.
Operator response
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 🏔️

A Great and full experience
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!
Operator response
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!

Unforgettable
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.

Perfect day in the mountains
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.

Beautiful experience, full of nature and moments to remember
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 great 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!

Great day adventure
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.

Excellent experience, highly recommended! A different activity, you contact the mountain and the guide is a genius!
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!
