Andes Hiking Experience Full Day

Mendoza, Argentina

10 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English and 1 more

Not every traveler experiences the mountains in the same way, so we don’t follow one fixed hiking route for every departure.

We keep groups small, allowing the guide to choose the most suitable route and adjust the pace according to the participants’ fitness, experience and the conditions on the day. You may explore high-altitude valleys and streams or, when the group and conditions allow, continue toward more demanding trails and higher viewpoints.

This is a hiking experience for travelers who want to explore the Andes on foot, beyond the usual scenic stops. Transportation from Mendoza, a professional mountain guide, food and the necessary mountain logistics are organized as part of the day, so you can focus on the hike and the landscape.

What to expect

Spend a full day hiking in the Cordón del Plata, one of Mendoza’s classic high-altitude mountain areas. Travel from Mendoza to Vallecitos and explore the Andes on foot with a professional mountain guide.

There is no single fixed route for every departure. Depending on the group’s fitness level, hiking experience, weather and mountain conditions, the guide will choose the most suitable option for the day. The hike can range from a moderate walk through high-altitude valleys and streams to more demanding trails leading toward higher viewpoints.

This flexibility allows you to experience the Cordón del Plata at a suitable pace while still enjoying a real high-altitude mountain environment. Groups are kept small, making it easier to adjust the pace and hiking objective throughout the day.
