About this experience

Enjoy landscape of the mountain in its maximum splendor. This tour, which is considered one of the most popular in the region , goes from Mendoza to the border with Chile.

Finally, following the international route, we will find the customs complex “Los Horcones”, and later, already in the limits with Chile , we will finish our tour in Las Cuevas , a place with a european building style and where we will make a stop to enjoy a mendozinian lunch in a typical mountain restaurant.

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.
