Great Excursion!
I really enjoyed this excursion. Jeronimo did a great job taking to a number of great sites. He was an excellent guide. I especially enjoyed the hike he took me on and seeing the Condors.

Description
We want to take you to participate in a Mendoza experience guided by Mendoza residents. We will start with the San Martín Park, a great work from the beginning of the 20th century, made possible thanks to the irrigation of the province. The use of canals and exploitation of meltwater. We will continue on our way, following the Mendoza River and its slopes to its main source, Lake Potrerillos. We will visit the Cipolletti dam, Cacheuta and finally the lake. There, if you wish, we can do a little trekking to have fabulous views of the mountain. We will show you some of the most beautiful corners of the city of Mendoza in a mountainous and tourist area around Cacheuta and Lake Potrerillos. Then, you can try regional products, enjoy a good coffee or a typical Argentine sandwich. Finally we will return to your accommodation or to our meeting point.

Best tour I have been on!
This was the best tour! Jeronimo was so informative and the communication prior to the tour was great. His English skills were top notch and so easy to understand.
