Uspallata is a historic town that is related to the Crossing of the Andes in the fight for independence.

Centro de Ski Los Penitentes

The Los Penitentes Ski Center and Mountain Park is a Mendoza classic, located just 180 km from the city of Mendoza and 15 km from Chile. We only stop in winter if there is snow.

Duration 30 minutes
4
Puente del Inca

Located in the heart of the Andes Mountains, 2,720 meters above sea level, the Puente del Inca is a mountain area famous for its natural bridge, a unique geological curiosity in the world and declared a Natural Monument. The Bridge has been formed by the action of mineral waters. The river flow made its way through sediments deposited at the bottom of a trough and then cemented by the thermal waters. These give the area its orange, yellow and ocher color, and any object that is placed under them such a hardness due to the impregnation in mineral salts that it acquires a "petrified" appearance. On the right bank is home to the famous hot springs, with five sources of the same type, but with different temperatures and components. The unique hills next to it and the Las Cuevas River that passes dozens of meters below the bridge complete the postcard.

Duration 30 minutes
5
Parque Provincial Aconcagua

Aconcagua Provincial Park is a protected area in the Argentine Andes, on the border with Chile.
