Full-Day Aconcagua Experience

Summary

Your tour begins with morning pickup from your central Mendoza hotel, where you’ll meet your guide and small group of no more than 12 people. Soak up the scenery as you head southwest along Road 7, then jump out to admire the views over the Cordon del Plata Range and Potrerillos Dam. Continue through tunnels and bridges to reach the scenic town of Uspallata. Hop out for a view of the valley before heading along the dramatic mountain roads into the heart of the Aconcagua Provincial Park. After securing your park permits, set out on a 1-hour guided hike in the shadows of the Aconcagua mountain, and enjoy magnificent views of the snow-capped peak and the surrounding Andes mountains range. Back on the bus, there’s time for one more stop – to admire the Puente del Inca, a natural bridge that swoops over the Vacas River. After a full day in the mountains, return to Mendoza, where you tour ends with drop-off back at your hotel. A boxed lunch will be included with your trip.
