Aconcagua Provincial Park Trip

At the designated time, we will pick you up at your hotel in Mendoza before driving east along the National Route 7 towards the border area with Chile.

During a three-hour drive, we will relax on board with traditional pancakes and a choice of mate, coffee, or tea. Along the way, we will pass through the Andean village of Cacheuta, the Potrerillos Reservoir, and the Cordón del Plata mountain range.

The excursion continues through the villages of Uspallata and Horcones until we reach the Puente del Inca, where we will learn about the legend of this monument. Next, we will visit the Aconcagua Provincial Park Visitors' Center.

We will then set off on an easy 2.5-hour trek to 10,000 ft above sea level. Along the route, we will see the Horcones Lagoon and the Quebrada del Durazno Bridge. At this point, we will stop for a picnic lunch that includes Carne Criolla empanadas, fruits, alfajores, various sweets, and wine from Mendoza.

Afterward, we will return on foot to the visitor's center, board the bus, and head back to the hotel in Mendoza, arriving approximately 10 hours after pickup.
