Potrerillos
The tour starts in the quiet residential area of Chacras de Coria, before you enter Route 82 to breathtaking landscapes and picturesque towns such as Las Comgates, Blanco Encalada and Colonia Switzerland. Visit the ruins of the former FADER plant, a testament to local industrial history, and then enter the imposing Cacheuta Canyon, where the Mendoza River makes its way between giant rock walls.
You will cross the Suspension Bridge and, after a winding ascent, you will reach the Tunnel of Potrerillos, with panoramic views of the Wall and the crowning of the Dyke. In Potrerillos you will be surprised by the lake of crystal clear waters and the snow-capped mountains of Cordon del Plata, with a stop at the Mirador del Lago.
The tour continues along the lake to the gardens of the Hotel de Potrerillos, where you can relax, make arborism or enjoy a snack. Return to Mendoza is scheduled for 7 pm, subject to traffic, especially on Sundays.
