High Mountain
Breakfast at the hotel. During the trip
we can see the Potrerillos dike. 100 Kms
(62 miles) away from the capital city we
can find Uspallata, which is where the huarpe’s
native occupation took place during the
prehispanic era. We’ll then visit
the villages of Picheuta, Polvaredas and
Punta de Vacas, from where we may reach
the famous village of Los Penitentes.
Further
on, in Puente del Inca, 2.720 meters over
sea level, Las Cuevas river has drilled
the mountain forming this way a natural
bridge from where thermal water emerges
from the edge. Nearby we can find the Mountain
Climbers Cemetery. Close to the frontier,
a wonderful natural viewpoint allows us
to see the Aconcagua Hill in all it’s
splendor. An unpaved road which starts at
the International Route, allows entering
the beautiful Horcones Lagoon and the Provincial
Park of Aconcagua. If weather helps, we
will be able to climb up to Cristo Redentor
Monument, 4.200 meters up. |
