Mendoza Water Path

About this experience

We want to take you to participate in a Mendoza experience guided by Mendoza residents. We will start with the San Martín Park, a great work from the beginning of the 20th century, made possible thanks to the irrigation of the province. The use of canals and exploitation of meltwater. We will continue on our way, following the Mendoza River and its slopes to its main source, Lake Potrerillos. We will visit the Cipolletti dam, Cacheuta and finally the lake. There, if you wish, we can do a little trekking to have fabulous views of the mountain. We will show you some of the most beautiful corners of the city of Mendoza in a mountainous and tourist area around Cacheuta and Lake Potrerillos. Then, you can try regional products, enjoy a good coffee or a typical Argentine sandwich. Finally we will return to your accommodation or to our meeting point.

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.
