Wonders of the High Andes from Mendoza

Uspallata, as we border the Mendoza River and enjoy the Cordon del Plata and the Potrerillos Dam.

Here we will find ourselves facing a pre-Hispanic settlement of aboriginal Huarpes, and also with the southernmost point of the Inca empire.

Here we will stop to take some pictures of the highest mountain in the western hemisphere, (6,900 meters) above sea level, without losing sight of the impressive Puente del Inca, a natural architectural work.

Las Cuevas (an European-style village, located 10,500 feet (3,200 meters) above sea level). Between Las Cuevas and the international tunnel, there is a path that allows visitors up to the Cristo Redentor monument, located 13,780 feet (4,200 meters) above sea level.

It's a very important hydraulic work that generates power and distributes water for irrigation for the whole region.

After the visit we will be returning to our selected hotels in Mendoza at approximately 5:30 p.m. In summer, if we go up to the Cristo Redentor, the excursion will end approximately at 8 pm. The visit to Cristo Redentor will depend on weather conditions and transportation traffic. Only from January to March
