Andes Hiking Experience Full Day

About this experience

Not every traveler experiences the mountains in the same way, so we don’t follow one fixed hiking route for every departure.

We keep groups small, allowing the guide to choose the most suitable route and adjust the pace according to the participants’ fitness, experience and the conditions on the day. You may explore high-altitude valleys and streams or, when the group and conditions allow, continue toward more demanding trails and higher viewpoints.

This is a hiking experience for travelers who want to explore the Andes on foot, beyond the usual scenic stops. Transportation from Mendoza, a professional mountain guide, food and the necessary mountain logistics are organized as part of the day, so you can focus on the hike and the landscape.

Things to do in Cuyo

Guide

  • The snow-streaked summit of Aconcagua rising above a dry Andean valley

    Guide

    Aconcagua, and what it takes to walk in

    At 6,961 m it is the highest mountain outside Asia, and most people who see it do so from a car park on Ruta 7. The trek to Confluencia and Plaza de Mulas is the honest middle ground.

  • Route 7 running west out of Uspallata between bare Andean ridges

    Guide

    The Alta Montaña road, Mendoza to the border

    Route 7 west out of Mendoza climbs 3,000 metres to the Chilean border past Potrerillos, Uspallata, Puente del Inca and the Aconcagua lookout. What to stop for, and what the day actually costs you.
