We begin this trip with the imposing view of the Potrerillos Dam, which surprises us after touring the Cacheuta Tunnel.

Our next stop will be Uspallata. From the southernmost point of the Inca Empire, we head to the towns of Picheuta, Polvaredas, Punta de Vacas and the former Los Penitentes ski complex.

Later, we will find the Puente del Inca, a rock formation that represents a natural bridge surrounded by springs of hot springs, over the Las Cuevas River. A few kilometers from there, Cerro Aconcagua.

Finally we will arrive at the town of Las Cuevas to make our lunch stop and tour one of the Authentic Towns of our country.

Between Las Cuevas and the international tunnel to Chile, there is the route that allows you to ascend to the Christ the Redeemer Monument. This icon, located at 4,200 meters above sea level, symbolizes the union between Argentines and Chileans, and from there you can enjoy one of the fabulous views of the high mountain range.
