About This Tour

A private high-mountain day trip across Mendoza's three mountain cordons — the Precordillera, Cordón del Plata, and the Andes — with a viewpoint stop over Lake Potrerillos, the colorful Inca Bridge, views of Aconcagua's south face, and lunch in Uspallata. Your guide leads you across Mendoza's three mountain cordons in one day — stopping at an incredible viewpoint over Lake Potrerillos, the colorful Puente del Inca (Inca Bridge), and the south face of Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, with lunch at a traditional restaurant in Uspallata.

Puente del Inca is a real, naturally formed travertine bridge over the Las Cuevas River, built up over a long span of geological time by mineral-rich, sulfurous hot-spring water depositing calcium carbonate as it flows — the same mineral content that gives the rock its mottled orange, yellow, and ochre coloring. It isn't an Inca construction despite the name; it was used as a natural river crossing before and after Inca times, by Huarpe and other Andean peoples as well, and it first appears in writing as far back as 1646. Charles Darwin visited and sketched the bridge in 1835 during his own crossing of the Andes.

Alongside the bridge are the ruins of a thermal spa resort — a hotel built in 1925 with its own in-room hot-spring baths, drawing on the same sulfurous waters once believed to treat stress, nervous conditions, and rheumatism. Landslides destroyed much of the resort in the 1960s, and it has stood abandoned ever since, giving the site a genuinely eerie, half-collapsed look alongside the natural bridge itself.

The rest of the day adds real geographic range to that one stop. An early viewpoint overlooks Lake Potrerillos, the roughly 12-kilometer-long reservoir created when a 116-meter dam was completed on the Mendoza River in 2003 — the first of the three mountain cordons this route works through on the way toward the high Andes and Aconcagua's south face, with lunch in Uspallata to close out the day.
