We begin our exciting tour along the High Mountain Road from Mendoza, picking up participants at their hotels between 7:30 am and 8:00 am. Our tourist trip begins on the famous National Route N°7.

We continued our way up the river entering the mountain town of Uspallata. This historic place was the scene of the Huarpe indigenous occupation in pre-Hispanic times and marks the transition between the foothills and the frontal mountain range. We will stop for breakfast in Uspallata and then continue our tour through a mountainous landscape that includes the charming villages of Picheuta, Polvaredas and Punta de Vacas, as well as the ancient Los Penitentes ski resort.
Continuing our group tour, we found the iconic Puente del Inca, a natural monument of astonishing geological beauty, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Kilometers further, you will find the viewpoint of Cerro Aconcagua, the highest mountain in America after the Himalayas.
