Highlights
I experienced one of Mendoza’s most emblematic routes with the High Mountain Tour, a scenic tour ideal for all ages. This experience is designed to enjoy the most imposing landscapes of the Andes without the need for trekking. The road follows the RN 7, passing through Potrerillos, Uspallata, Puente del Inca, Miador Aconcagua and Las Cuevas, where you will have enough time to take pictures, observe the environment and enjoy nature. Only if the climatic conditions are suitable will we ascend by vehicle to the Christ the Redeemer at 4,200 masl. The experience is accompanied by drivers and guides, renowned for their warmth, knowledge and attention to detail. You will travel in enabled vehicles, ensuring a safe and pleasant day. This tour stands out for being a panoramic, accessible and excellent value for money option, ideal for those who want to know the mountain range without making intense physical efforts.

About Mendoza
Mendoza is a wine city of tree-lined avenues and irrigation channels on a dry plain, with the high Andes rising to the west.
Mendoza was largely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1861, which is why its streets are wide and its squares open. Plane trees shade the pavements, watered by old irrigation channels called acequias. Plaza Independencia sits at the centre with four smaller squares around it, and the great Parque General San Martín climbs to the Cerro de la Gloria, a monument with a view over the city.
Top-ranked sights in Mendoza: Puente del Inca (Inca Bridge), Uspallata, Aconcagua Provincial Park.
