Then you can learn or simply enjoy the tasting of great wines to end the evening with an outstanding Gourmet dinner. It will definitely be a special night!
We continue with this tour that takes us along the emblematic Ruta de las Altas Cumbres and the Mendoza River. During the day, we will discover the most beautiful mountains of Mendoza. Besides seeing the colorful transition of landscapes, we will also visit small villages such as Cacheuta, Potrerillos with its crystal clear water reservoir, Uspallata and Penitentes. Of course, we will pass by Ski Resort Penitentes and "El Puente de Inca", known for its incredible natural formation! We will cross the three mountain ranges: the Pre Andes, the Cordillera Frontal and the Cordillera Principal. From the route we will observe how the natural formations have been used by the indigenous people to form high altitude roads and have been the best way to cross the Andes up to the present day. Arriving at the Aconcagua Provincial Park, in the Horcones Valley, we will have the opportunity to take a 2 hour trek to Quebrada del Durazno, or opt for a short interpretative trail to the viewpoint (45 min). The Aconcagua Provincial Park connects us with this unique natural environment framed by the majestic Aconcagua Mountain. At the end of the day we start our way back. Return to the city in the afternoon.
According to the departure time of the flight or bus, transfer to the airport/bus terminal. We recommend you to combine this destination with any other in our country to continue enjoying Argentina to the fullest.
