Cordon del Plata from Mendoza

About this experience

Head towards the Uco Valley to appreciate the beauty of the mountain, combined with the province’s productive sector, vineyard plantations, at different levels, and majestic wineries. You could enjoy the Christ the King in Tupungato and the historic Apple Tree in Tunuyan, where General San Martin rested (under an apple tree) on his victorious return to the homeland. Today a monument stands in his honor. Also included in the walk is a tasting of regional products and a visit and tasting to a winery in the area.

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.
