What to expect

We will drive to Cordon del Plata Park (commonly known as Vallecitos) along the scenic Route 7, passing through Lujan de Cuyo and Potrerillos. We will then hike the beautiful Quebrada Estudiantes. Our certified mountain guide will lead the group along the creek, gently ascending the gorge, up to Cerro Andresitos.

Once we reach the peak, we will have a quick snack while admiring the immense spread of mountain peaks below, as well as the stunning Potrerillos Dam. After this break, we will begin our descent.

The entire hike offers breathtaking views of the Andes and Cordilleras, giving us a glimpse into the fascinating nature and wildlife of the region. On the way there and back, our guide will answer whatever questions you may have, and will share with you some fascinating details about the area.
