Description
We start early, bordering the Mendoza River along International Route N°7, where you will be greeted by spectacular views of the Cordón del Plata and the Potrerillos Dam water mirror. As we advance, we arrive at Uspallata, a valley that treasures the pre-Hispanic roots of the Huarpes.
The path takes us through the towns of Picheuta, Polvaredas and Punta de Vacas, to the legendary former ski resort Los Penitentes. But the real show awaits you at Puente del Inca, an amazing natural architectural work with thermal springs that seem taken from a dream.
A few kilometers from Puente del Inca, at 2750 meters above sea level, you will find the viewpoint of Cerro Aconcagua, the giant of America with 6959 meters that dominates the landscape. We continue to Las Cuevas, on the border with Chile, reaching 3200 meters above sea level.
At noon, we break for lunch (lunch not included) in a typical restaurant in the area, where you can taste the best of regional cuisine before heading back in the afternoon.
This tour is not just a trip along mountain roads, it is an encounter with the essence of the Andes, where each stop and each landscape connect you with history, culture and the greatness of nature. Get ready to live an unforgettable excursion!

We left satisfied. We went back to Mendozaâ on our own the next day. The audio cut out on a couple of stretches. Worth it, knowing the above.

Nos quedamos con una buena impresión. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. Ideal para tener un panorama general y después volver a lo que más te gustó. Me hubiera gustado un poco más de tiempo en la última parada. Igual lo volvería a hacer.

Muy bueno
Nos pareció correcto y bien organizado. Uspallata fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. Nos tocó un guía muy amable, aunque el grupo era grande y no llegaba a todos. Cambiamos la fecha dos días antes y no hubo ningún problema. Para lo que incluye, el precio es más que razonable. El wifi que prometían no funcionaba.

Buena elección
Buena elección si es tu primera vez en Mendoza. Nos pasaron toda la información por mail el día anterior, muy claro. Nos encantó la zona de Huarpes. Una de las paradas estaba cerrada ese día y no lo avisaron.

Speechless
It flew by and we wanted more. Puente del Inca was a surprise, it was not on our list. The route is well thought out, no backtracking or wasted time. The return ran nearly an hour later than scheduled. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Mendoza.

Muy buena organización
Lo volvería a hacer sin dudarlo. Para lo que incluye, el precio es más que razonable. La reserva fue simple y llegó la confirmación al toque. Tuvimos buen tiempo en América para sacar fotos tranquilos. En hora pico el tránsito estira bastante el recorrido. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.
