Today we will journey into the
Aconcagua Valley, where we will be in the shadow of the Cordon del Plata range of the Andes Mountains. Here, we will see the
Potrerillos Dam and the ancient town of
Uspallata, AR.
As we continue on our way into the mountains, we will stop at several other small villages and natural features such as the Puente del Inca hot springs. We will then journey to Aconcagua Provincial Park, where we will be able to see Cerro Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in both the Western and Southern Hemispheres. Our final destination is the village of Las Cuevas, AR, which is located nearly 2 miles above sea level. We will return to Mendoza for the night.
