An excellent ride to get to know the Mendoza mountains, we appreciate the Potrerillos dam and the Uspallata Valley. On the way we will see railway towns such as Polvaredas and Punta de Vacas. We will pass by the former Los Penitentes Ski Center, the natural beauty of the Puente del Inca and the Cerro Aconcagua viewpoint, until we arrive at Las Cuevas, the last town on the route bordering Chile. During the summer season and depending on the weather conditions we can ascend to 4,000 meters above sea level to the Cristo Redentor Monument, a symbol of peace between Argentina and Chile. During the winter season the ascent to Cristo Redentor remains closed. If there is enough snow we will make a stop to enjoy it and carry out activities. We finish the tour with a stop in a restaurant area for lunch. The cost of this is NOT included in the value of the tour.
