One of the most emblematic destinations is Aconcagua, the highest peak in America, which is located some 180 km northwest of Mendoza. Even though most travelers do not venture to climb the mountain, they can access the base through the Aconcagua Provincial Park, an ideal place for those who enjoy trekking and spectacular views. On the way to Aconcagua, you will find the Puente del Inca, an impressive natural formation from which thermal waters flow from the interior of the mountains, creating a unique landscape full of history. If you are looking for relaxation, the Termas de Cacheuta, located just 40 minutes from the city (38 km), offers a unique experience of relaxation in the middle of the mountains. The natural thermal waters, surrounded by spectacular surroundings, allow you to enjoy a day of rest and rejuvenation, with spa options, massages and ecotourism activities. For those who want a more authentic experience, the Villavicencio Provincial Park, about 50 km from Mendoza, is a natural reserve where you can go hiking and enjoy the autochthonous flora and fauna of the region, while you can observe the splendor of the Andean mountains.
