Full-Day Andes Hike & Argentine Barbecue Experience

About this experience

Start the day hiking in the Cordón del Plata, with a route and pace adapted to the group so you can experience the Andes at a level that feels right for you. Then, after several hours in the mountains, continue the experience at our mountain home with a traditional Argentine asado.

Rather than combining a fixed hike with a standard restaurant lunch, the entire day is organized as one experience. You’ll spend the first part exploring the mountains with a professional guide, then sit down to appetizers, fire-cooked meat, side dishes, Mendoza wine, and dessert prepared by us.

It’s a full day that brings together two essential parts of Mendoza: experiencing the Andes on foot and sharing a real Argentine asado around the table.

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.
