Cajón de Arenales offers a very different side of Mendoza’s Andes: a high-altitude landscape dominated by massive granite walls, far from the better-known sightseeing routes.
We keep groups small, allowing the hiking pace to be adjusted to the participants while the guide manages the route according to the conditions in the mountains.
The experience can also start directly from the Uco Valley, making it a great option if you are staying among the wineries and want to spend a full day exploring the mountains without traveling into Mendoza city first.
It’s an opportunity to discover one of the Uco Valley’s most distinctive mountain areas on foot, with the logistics organized from pickup to return.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Pickup is available from accommodations within a 15 km radius of Mendoza city center and from accommodations in the Uco Valley.
Your exact pickup time will be confirmed before the activity and will depend on your accommodation location.
What to expect
After pickup in Mendoza or the Uco Valley, travel toward the mountains and begin the hike with a professional mountain guide. The trek takes approximately 5 hours in total, following mountain trails through granite valleys, streams, and high-altitude scenery, with a lagoon as one of the main points along the route.
The pace and difficulty can be adjusted according to the group’s fitness level, while weather, snow, and trail conditions will determine the most suitable route on the day.
After the hike, return to the vehicle for the transfer back to your accommodation.
