Explore High Mountains from the Historic Center of Mendoza - Book Your Tour
Ride the Route 7 mountain range through the majestic Andes Mountains, starting at Potrerillos del Río Mendoza and following the scenic road past Potrerillos Dam; you’ll continue through a tunnel into the Uspallata Valley before climbing the high mountain road toward Los Penitentes. The international route traces the Andean massif beside the old railway line until you arrive at Puente del Inca, a natural bridge with hot springs and a rich history, then the mountains part to reveal Aconcagua where you’ll stop at the Mirador for unforgettable views. Finally you’ll reach the city of Las Cuevas and, weather permitting, visit Christ the Redeemer, with lunch at a restaurant or the option to make your own barbecue with a chef before returning to Mendoza and the Historic Center, an ideal base for booking this full-day outdoor experience through Varoom.
