This 12-hour day trip from Mendoza follows international route N°7, starting with a 20-minute stop at Potrerillos Dam to view the surrounding landscape. The tour then continues to Uspallata, a mountain village that was once a settlement of the Huarpe people and marks the southern edge of the Inca Empire. From Uspallata, the route passes through the villages of Picheuta, Polvaredas, Punta de Vacas, and the former Penitentes ski resort. Next is Puente del Inca, a natural rock formation that spans the Las Cuevas River and is surrounded by thermal springs. A short drive from there leads to the viewpoint of Aconcagua, known as the Colossus of the Americas, located at 2750 meters above sea level. Aconcagua reaches 6962 meters in height and attracts climbers from around the world. The tour then proceeds to the village of Las Cuevas at 3200 meters elevation, where participants stop for lunch and a brief tour of the village. Included in the tour are round-trip transportation, a professional guide throughout, and English-speaking assistance at the main points of interest. The main language of the tour is Spanish except at key highlights where English help is provided. Breakfast and lunch costs are not included.
