The most impressive landscapes of the Andes mountain range that you must not miss on your first visit to Mendoza.<\/b><\/p>\n

We begin this journey along the international route n \u00b0 7, with the imposing view of the\u00a0Potrerillos<\/b>\u00a0Dam, which surprises us after touring the\u00a0Cacheuta<\/b>\u00a0Tunnel.<\/p>\n

Our next stop will be\u00a0Uspallata<\/b>. From the southernmost point of the Inca Empire, we headed to the villages of Picheuta, Polvaredas, Punta de Vacas and the former\u00a0Los Penitentes\u00a0<\/b>ski complex.<\/p>\n

Further along our route, we\u2019ll come to see\u00a0Puente del Inca<\/b>, a unique natural rock formation that looks like a bridge over Las Cuevas River, it\u2019s still surrounded by thermal springs. A few kilometers from there, located at 2,750 m, is the viewpoint of the colossus of\u00a0 the America\u00b4s,\u00a0Aconcagua<\/b>, which with its 6962 m, receives visitors from all over the world who want to reach its summit.9<\/p>\n

During the summer months only, it\u2019s possible to drive in the direction of the International Tunnel, to take a small side road which leads to the\u00a0Cristo Redentor Monument.<\/b>\u00a0This icon, located at 4200 m, symbolizes the union between Argentines and Chileans, and from there you can enjoy one of the fabulous views of the mountain range.<\/p>\n
