Atuel and San Rafael Canyon Full Day from Mendoza

About this experience

I toured the southern Mendoza in a full-day excursion that combines nature and history. Leaving from the city of Mendoza, you will cross desert landscapes on the way to San Rafael, where you will take a city tour of its most outstanding points. You will continue towards the imposing Atuel Canyon, with panoramic stops to appreciate its rocky walls carved by the river, and towards the El Nihuil and Valle Grande dam. A guide will accompany you throughout the tour, with transfers included. Also in Valle Grande you have optional activities to do, Rafting, Catamaran, and Zip-lining, not included in the tour price, subject to the weather conditions of that day.

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.
