The Aconcagua Hill is an undisputed reference of the Andes Mountains and Argentina; It is a must see for climbers and tourists from all over the world.
This tour was conceived to enjoy unforgettable landscapes and great stories that marked these roads; we will take the necessary time to get in touch with all its corners and discover its best kept secrets.
We will head southwest on Provincial Route 86, enjoying the landscapes of Cacheuta until we cross the tunnel that connects this town with Potrerillos. We will contemplate the wonderful view of the Cordón del Plata, Mendoza’s main source of water and, of the picturesque Potrerillos Dam, a mirror of crystalline water in the middle of mountains.
We will continue along this path, contemplating the unforgettable landscape, going through tunnels and bridges, until we reach the town of Uspallata. Again we will make a strategic stop to get a better view of the Valley as a whole.
Already back in the van, we will move a few kilometers, until we reach “Puente del Inca”. Mandatory stop icon of our mountain range.
Once we return to the route, the Aconcagua Provincial Park awaits us. There we will obtain the corresponding permits to make a walk of approximately one hour, to the viewpoint of the Laguna de Horcones, where we can see the South Wall and the summit of the highest hill in America.
Finally, a mountain lunch awaits us at a hostel in the town of Las Cuevas, bordering Chile.
