Discover Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas, on a full-day journey along Mendoza’s iconic High Mountain Route, without the need for a demanding hike.

The day takes you through some of the most remarkable landscapes of the Central Andes, with stops at Potrerillos, Cacheuta, Uspallata, Puente del Inca, and Aconcagua Provincial Park.

Inside the park, you’ll enjoy a gentle walk to Laguna Horcones, with open views of Aconcagua’s south face and surrounding glaciers. The trail is easy and non-technical, giving you time to appreciate the scale of the Andes and enjoy the landscape without rushing.

Along the way, you’ll also enjoy breakfast in Uspallata and a traditional Argentine lunch with asado, local wine, and dessert at a mountain restaurant.

We take care of the transportation, guiding, park entrance, and meals, with a carefully planned itinerary that allows you to experience the High Mountain Route at a comfortable pace.

A full day to discover Aconcagua and some of Mendoza’s most iconic mountain landscapes, with time to truly enjoy the journey.
