Potrerillos and Cacheuta Trip
Potrerillos and Cacheuta Trip
At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Mendoza and set off on this unforgettable day trip. Ready? Let's go!
During the journey, we'll see the Chacras de Coria Square, driving down Route 82 to pass some of this area's picturesque villages such as Las Compuertas, Blanco Encalada, and Colonia Suiza.
We'll make a stop at the viewpoint of the Fader ruins, a testament to the region's rich industrial history, before arriving at the Cacheuta Canyon, where the Mendoza River winds its way through the imposing rock walls.
Once here, we'll cross the Cacheuta hanging bridge on foot, looming 140 metres (459 feet) tall. We'll take this break to discuss the importance of oil in the region before visiting the Potrerillos tunnel. You'll love the scenic views from this point!
We'll then stop at the Potrerillos Dam viewpoint to admire this artificial reservoir over 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) long. Our route will continue bordering the lake until we reach the Gardens of Hotel Potrerillos, where you'll have some free time to grab a snack if you wish and to go on a stroll.
Lastly, we'll start the journey back to the meeting point, where this day trip will come to an end after a total of 5 hours.
