Day Hiking in Vallecitos, the high mountains of Mendoza

Mendoza Province, Argentina



Here I am offering you the chance to come and experience an adventure in the Andes with a bilingual mountain guide, in an amazing venue at only 2 hours drive from Mendoza Capital.

Highlights

  • An epic adventure to be had in the Andes
  • Chance to see local wildlife
  • Incredible views of the Andes

Description

This is a fantastic day hike to one of the best mountaineering venues in the country, Vallecitos. Here we will take a day hike to the little known 'Cascada Del Medio', close to one of the varios base camps used in the area. The idea is to get an early start so we can really take advantage of the day, then we will drive 2 hours aprox. to the trailhead. From there its all hiking, on trails that are mostly in good condition, and with spectacular views. We will stop for a picnic lunch at around 3600m above sea level, and then continue on to the Cascada del Medio (Waterfall of the middle), before heading back to our transport and then back to the city. This is a great trek for all abilities, and requieres no prior experience, however a good level of fitness is recomended!
