Mendoza: High Andes Day Tour with Aconcagua & Uspallata｜Argentina

Begin your journey with morning pickup from your hotel in central Mendoza. Head toward the Andes Mountains, following the Mendoza River and taking in the scenic views of the Cordón del Plata mountain range and the Potrerillos Dam.

Continue through Uspallata, a historical settlement that served as the southernmost point of the Inca Empire. Pass through small mountain villages like Picheuta, Polvaredas, and Punta de Vacas before arriving at Puente del Inca, a natural arch formation with thermal springs.

Next, enter the Aconcagua Provincial Park to reach the lookout point, where you can admire Mount Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Southern and Western Hemispheres. Continue toward Las Cuevas, a border village situated near the Chilean border. During summer months (weather permitting), ascend to the Christ the Redeemer monument symbolizing peace between Argentina and Chile.

Conclude your excursion with a comfortable drive back to Mendoza, returning directly to your hotel.
