About this activity

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, until we reach the town of Uspallata. Where we will make a strategic stop to get a better view of the Valley.

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 two hours, to the viewpoint of the Laguna de Horcones, where we can see the South Wall and the summit of the highest hill in America.
