About this experience

Let me take you to a unique experience in the Arenales and Lomas Blancas hills! Here, in the heart of the Cordón del Plata Park, rises the majestic Cerro Plata, almost 6000 meters high. With a medium-low difficulty and low technique, it is the ideal starting point for adventurers who want to explore this fascinating world.

From the summit, you will enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Cordón del Plata Park, with its imposing hills and the beauty of Potrerillos.

Additionally, I invite you to explore the Vallecitos area, which was once home to an exciting ski resort. Although it has disappeared due to the lack of snow, we can still find vestiges of its past, such as old chairlifts, machinery and hotels that transport us back in time.

Immerse yourself with me in this enclave where adventurers from all over the world come to train and acclimatize before climbing Aconcagua. It is the perfect place to prepare and conquer new peaks.

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.
