(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Parque Provincial - Mirador Del Cerro Aconcagua
The Aconcagua Provincial Park is a protected area in the Argentine Andes, on the border with Chile. There is the snow-capped Mount Aconcagua, one of the highest in South America. At the entrance to the park you can take a path to the Los Horcones lagoon and the Quebrada del Durazno. Thanks to its altitude, it is home to enormous Andean condors. Nearby, there is the Puente del Inca, which is a natural bridge made of orange stones that crosses the Las Cuevas River. We will do a short trekking to the Mirador Aconcagua which is 3,400 meters high and there is also another long trekking of about 50 minutes that will take us to the end of the La Laguna trail where we will be on a hanging bridge and at the edge of a river in the middle of the mountains (this trekking is optional). Then we will go to have lunch in the caves sector at a restaurant with an old house (not included in the price of the tour).
Laguna del Inca
Between the snowy mountains of the Andes lies the beautiful Laguna del Inca, an emerald-colored body of water located next to the oldest ski center in America and which draws attention for the spectacular landscapes that surround it, the flora and fauna of the area and its interesting cultural value. According to legend, Princess Kora-llé, the most powerful woman in the empire, and the Inca warrior Illi Yupanqui, fell in love and decided to marry on one of the peaks located on the shores of a clear lagoon. During the wedding, the princess fell into the void and died. The warrior, full of sadness, placed Kora-llé's body in the lagoon. When the body reached the depths, the water magically took on an emerald color, the same tone as the princess's eyes. We will also have the following stops along the way: - Chacabuco Battle Monument - Salto El Soldado - Chile - Argentina Border - Portillo Ski Center - Curve to see the Caracoles Route
Puente del Inca
The warriors formed a human bridge by holding on to each other, and the chief passed behind them. Legend has it that when they turned around, the warriors had become petrified, forming the Puente del Inca. The scientific explanation says that the bridge was formed by the action of mineral waters.
