Escape the city and discover one of Mendoza’s most rewarding adventures — a hike with epic views of the Andes and Lake Potrerillos, combined with the rare chance to relax in natural hot springs. Unlike standard big-bus tours, I keep groups small (maximum 6 people), so everything feels personal, flexible, and unhurried. The route is not so much difficult as it is just long (6–7h), and most people with basic fitness can manage it well. Along the way there are a few short sections of easy climbing, which most travelers find fun. If you prefer something lighter, we can shorten the route to the first viewpoint — already a beautiful spot — making the total hike about 4 hours instead of 6–7. As a photographer, I can capture the best moments of your adventure with my camera or drone — to keep great memories or blow up your social media.
