Private Tour
Full day trekking & Barbecue local experience
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
You will experience a full day regional tour. The activity will begin in the Front Mountain Range -at 2,400 meters above sea level- with a low-difficulty 3-hour hike.
During the tour we will get to know the typical way of life of the locals, with their livestock and their pace of life, so different from that of the city. We will also see local wildlife: condors, guanacos and foxes.
And as we reach higher altitudes, we will be amazed by the great views of Potrerillos, its dam and the pre-mountain range.
Anything else? Of course, here is the best part: upon finishing the hike, we will arrive at the authentic mountain hut of Daniel, our gaucho friend. There we will be welcomed for a delicious asado criollo, with the best Argentinean meat. Although if you would rather not eat meat, and we will prepare a vegetarian menu for you which –we are not lying– is so tasty that we always have to plan some extra servings…
And the must-try: we will serve our asado with pure-bred Mendoza wine.

5.00Great views, scenic area, the hike was easily manageable, food was excellent and they were very accommodating of me as a vegetarian. But what made this trip outstanding was the team, from our contact Joaquín, our guide Christina, our cook Walter and our additional driver Vanina because we made a mistake communicating, everyone was truly invested in making sure we had an excellent experience.
A Great and full experience

5.00This is a unique experience that combines physical activity, nature and real Argentine's food (Asado). Matias drove and guided us in the beautiful Aconcagua park. It snowed and usually cold which made this 10km hike more interesting. We ended with a real Asado meal (not a lunch bag) with a good Malbec. Matias and Walter were awesome!
Unforgettable

5.00A once in a lifetime experience, and even better with the help of the guys from Alta Montaña. Always attentive to everything. The landscape from the top is spectacular.
Perfect day in the mountains

5.00Great day trip into the mountains from Mendoza. Clear communication prior to the trip, we were pucked up right on time. Our guide Lucas was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We started the hike with another group, but they let the ability of the clients dictate the pace, so we split from them and we're able to hike further/higher. We met back up at the end to enjoy some delicious asado and wine. I would totally recommend this trip if you enjoy time in nature.
Beautiful experience, full of nature and moments to remember

5.00We left early for the Frontal Mountain Range. We arrived at the post, where we then had lunch, and there we began the ascent to Mailhos Hill. It was a quiet walk with our guide, Matías. Seeing condors flying over us and contact with farm animals was what I enjoyed the most. After a delicious meal and a short rest, we returned to the city. Super recommended experience.
A great experience

5.00A wonderful experience! Pablo was an excellent guide! When we needed to adjust the hike for my mother, Pablo very quickly pivoted plans. He also brought extra warm clothes which was great since we weren’t prepared. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Would highly recommend the tour!
Incredible experience!

5.00This was an amazing experience. From the moment I reached out, the team was attentive and accommodating. I ended up doing the hike solo because my friend got sick. But my guide Fernando was simply wonderful and put me right at ease. He was so friendly and acknowledge about the area, wildlife and nature. The barbecue was delicious and the views … just wow. Definitely a highlight of my trip.
Excellent experience, highly recommended! A different activity, you contact the mountain and the guide is a genius!

5.00Great activity to do something different in the mountains! The treiking was great, we were half out of breath due to the height but it is possible and finishing it is a pleasure. Everything is super organized on the part of the company and they pay attention to all the details. Very delicious roast to finish and wine! Super recommended!
Unforgettable, wonderful day in the Andes!

5.00We had a truly great day with Pablo! He was a wonderful guide and shared interesting information about the local area and the mountains. The hike was a little harder than anticipated due to high snow, but Pablo made sure our whole crew was prepared (including with extra poles, hats and gloves!) and helped get us through the harder parts with care. We moved at a good pace, with plenty of time for pictures (and he even took extras for us!) and breaks (plus he shared local treats at the top). The bbq afterwards was a real treat too. It was an unforgettable day and easily a favorite of my whole trip! Thank you so much, Pablo!
