What makes Wonders of the High Andes from Mendoza a unique experience ?
Early in the morning we will be picked up from our selected hotels to leave for Uspallata, as we border the Mendoza River and enjoy the Cordon del Plata and the Potrerillos Dam.
Once we reach Uspallata we will make our first stop. Here we will find ourselves facing a pre-Hispanic settlement of aboriginal Huarpes, and also with the southernmost point of the Inca empire.
We will visit the Villas of Picheuta, Polvaredas and Punta de Vacas.
Then, we’ll visit Los Penitentes ski resort and get amazing panoramic views of the area (entrance not included).
We will continue on our way to the impressive Puente del Inca, a natural architectural work with springs of hot springs.
We will continue along Route 7 until we reach the Aconcagua Viewpoint. Here we will stop to take some pictures of the highest mountain in the western hemisphere, (6,900 meters) above sea level, without losing sight of the impressive Puente del Inca, a natural architectural work.
Following the international route, reach your final destination, the village of Las Cuevas (an European-style village, located 10,500 feet (3,200 meters) above sea level). Between Las Cuevas and the international tunnel, there is a path that allows visitors up to the Cristo Redentor monument, located 13,780 feet (4,200 meters) above sea level.
First, we’ll pass by the Cordon del Plata mountain range and the Potrerillos Dam, located along the Mendoza River. It’s a very important hydraulic work that generates power and distributes water for irrigation for the whole region.
The Cristo Redentor monument symbolizes the union between Argentinians and Chileans.
