An idyllic Andean landscape of hanging bridges, crystal lagoons, and magnificent mountains awaits you on this fantastic trip to Potrerillos and Cacheuta.

Potrerillos and Cacheuta Trip

At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Mendoza and set off on this day trip. During the journey, we'll see the Chacras de Coria Square, driving down Route 82 to pass picturesque villages such as Las Compuertas, Blanco Encalada, and Colonia Suiza.

We'll make a stop at the viewpoint of the Fader ruins before arriving at the Cacheuta Canyon, where the Mendoza River winds through the rock walls. Once here, we'll cross the Cacheuta hanging bridge on foot, looming 140 metres (459 feet) tall. We will discuss the importance of oil in the region before visiting the Potrerillos tunnel, with scenic views from this location.

Next, we'll stop at the Potrerillos Dam viewpoint to admire this artificial reservoir over 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) long. Our route will continue bordering the lake until we reach the Gardens of Hotel Potrerillos, where you'll have some free time to grab a snack and stroll.

Finally, we'll start the journey back to the meeting point, concluding the trip after a total of 5 hours.
