This High Mountain Tour offers a scenic journey through the Andes along National Route 7, the historic road that connects Argentina with Chile. The experience begins with hotel pick-up in Mendoza and a drive west toward the highest mountains in the Americas.
The Andes Mountain Route
Leaving the city behind, the road first passes through Luján de Cuyo before entering the pre-Andean mountain range. The first stop is in Potrerillos, a small mountain town overlooking the Potrerillos Dam and its impressive lake surrounded by mountain landscapes.
The Aconcagua Corridor
The journey continues through the Uspallata Valley, an area known for its dramatic scenery, colorful geological formations and historic mountain villages. Along the route you will pass through small towns such as Polvaredas, Punta de Vacas and Los Penitentes.
One of the highlights of the tour is Puente del Inca, a natural rock bridge formed by mineral-rich waters of the Las Cuevas River. Nearby, a scenic viewpoint allows visitors to admire the impressive Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas at 6,962 meters above sea level.
Your Experience with Vistalba Wine Tours
On the return journey the tour stops in Uspallata where you will enjoy lunch paired with wine before heading back to Mendoza. This experience with Vistalba Wine Tours offers an unforgettable way to discover the landscapes and natural landmarks of the Andes.
