Hiking Vallecitos
Far from Aconcagua mass tourism, Vallecito’s hikes are the most attractive ones of Mendoza, all year round.

The adventure begins from the north east to Rio Blanco’s valley; then the trekkers will reach a crystalline brook to finish at the “Student’s Ravine”. They will climb up the ravine to pass Lomas Blancas Arenales (3.400m/11.154ft). From there they will continue on the edge to reach the summit (3.500m/11.483ft) if time permits, where they will appreciate a stunning view of “Cordon del Plata and Potrerillos Lake.
