This exclusive high mountain Aconcagua tour (in perfect condition car or fully equipped van) is a best seller in Mendoza. During this entire day, we will follow the well-known Route 7 on the way to Chile and the Aconcagua Park, following the historical San Martin’s route, Argentina’s liberator. Breathtaking drive tour.
We usually leave Mendoza early at 07:30AM.
We first stop at the Potrerillos lake and the beautiful town of Uspallata for a buffet breakfast.
Our next step will be the famous Puente del Inca or Inca Bridge (a natural rock formation over the river Las Cuevas).
If weather permitting then we’ll have a small hike (between 1 and 2 hours) in Aconcagua Park to watch the beauty of the Stone Sentinel with its 6962m/22800ft. The Cerro Aconcagua is the highest mountain outside the Himalayas.
Finally a perfect Asado/BBQ is waiting for you (vegetarian option) in Uspallata. Menu is homemade empanadas and a traditional BBQ. Wine from Lutron Piedra Negra winery (Uco Valley).
Time to come back to Mendoza, and have a good rest !
This drive tour of Aconcagua and route 7 is available all year long and include small hike into the Aconcagua Park weather permitting.
