Small Circuit Excursion to Cacheuta and Potrerillos

Esta experiencia, conocida como el circuito chico de alta montaña, comienza bordeando las aguas del río Mendoza y atravesando la elegante zona de Chacras de Coria. La aventura cobra emoción en Cacheuta, donde tendrás el desafío de cruzar su emblemático puente colgante antes de iniciar el ascenso por los pintorescos caracoles de montaña y atravesar el túnel que conecta con el Dique Potrerillos. Al salir del túnel, te sorprenderá la vista espectacular de este espejo de agua turquesa rodeado de cumbres majestuosas, el sitio ideal para capturar fotografías profesionales. El recorrido continúa explorando villas de montaña como Las Carditas, El Salto y Valle del Sol, alcanzando la serenidad de Piedras Blancas, donde dispondrás de tiempo libre para caminar por senderos naturales o disfrutar de una merienda típica en una pastelería de montaña. Bajo la supervisión de guías que conocen cada rincón de la cordillera, el regreso se realiza por la Ruta Nacional 7, cruzando la zona de Agrelo, epicentro del Malbec, para concluir un día lleno de contrastes y paisajes únicos.
