Trekking Mendoza Arenales 3400 Meters and Lomas Blancas 3650 Meters
Let me take you to a unique experience in the Arenales and Lomas Blancas hills! Here, in the heart of the Cordón del Plata Park, rises the majestic Cerro Plata, almost 6000 meters high. With a medium-low difficulty and low technique, it is the ideal starting point for adventurers who want to explore this fascinating world.
From the summit, you will enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Cordón del Plata Park, with its imposing hills and the beauty of Potrerillos.
Additionally, I invite you to explore the Vallecitos area, which was once home to an exciting ski resort. Although it has disappeared due to the lack of snow, we can still find vestiges of its past, such as old chairlifts, machinery and hotels that transport us back in time.
Immerse yourself with me in this enclave where adventurers from all over the world come to train and acclimatize before climbing Aconcagua. It is the perfect place to prepare and conquer new peaks.
