From Mendoza to the heart of the Andes

High Mountain is not only about reaching Aconcagua. It is about enjoying every change in the landscape and discovering the different places that appear as we make our way into the Andes.

Potrerillos Dam in High Mountain Mendoza

First iconic view

Dique Potrerillos

One of the first major landscapes you encounter as you enter the Andes is Potrerillos.

The contrast between the water, mountains and sky makes the dam one of the most memorable views along the route.

It is an excellent opportunity to stop, take in the scenery and begin to appreciate the vastness of the Andes.

Route to Uspallata in Mendoza

The mountain valley

Uspallata

Surrounded by mountains, Uspallata is one of the most important towns along the High Mountain corridor and a gateway to the great landscapes of the Andes.

Its location and history make it a distinctive stop on the route toward Puente del Inca and Aconcagua.

Depending on the itinerary and the day’s conditions, we can make different stops as we continue along Route 7.

On the way to Aconcagua

Penitentes and high-altitude landscapes

As we continue climbing, the Andes become increasingly impressive. The Penitentes area is part of this high-mountain landscape.

During winter, when conditions allow, snow completely transforms the scenery and creates a very different experience.

Snowfall and accumulation vary depending on the season, snowfall events and weather conditions.

Nature and history

Puente del Inca

Puente del Inca is one of the most iconic places in Mendoza’s High Mountain region.

Its unique natural formation, colors and Andean surroundings make it one of the most distinctive stops on the way to Aconcagua.

It is a place where nature, history and one of Mendoza’s classic landscapes come together.

Winter in Mendoza

Experience snow in the Andes

During winter, the High Mountain region can completely transform. Snow-covered mountains, snow along the road and unique landscapes give the route a very different character.

We organize the experience taking into account weather conditions, road conditions and the areas that are open.

❄️ Important: snow is a natural phenomenon. Accessible areas and stops may vary depending on snowfall, weather, safety and road conditions.
