Travel to the top: A journey that will change you forever.
There are roads that are traveled, and there are roads that are felt. This is one of the latter. From the moment you leave Mendoza behind and Route 7 begins to make its way through the mountains, everything changes: the air becomes purer, the sky more immense, and you... freer.
It is not just a trip, it is an experience that awakens all the senses. The Potrerillos Reservoir welcomes you like a blue mirror that reflects the grandeur of the Andes. This tour is for those who love adventure, for those who seek breathtaking landscapes, for those who want to disconnect from the noise and connect with something much bigger. For you, who are not satisfied with the everyday and know that the best way to get to know a place is to live it.
