Full description
Start with a two-hour drive to the beginning of the trek in the Andes front range called "Cordon del Plata". On the way, you will be able to see the Cacheuta Village and Potrerillos dam. Part of the Front Range, the "Cordon del Plata", has a maximum altitude of 5968m, a length of 80 kilometers and it is home to an incredible variety of landscapes. The trek is along one of its ravines called "La Angostura", with an approximate duration of 3 and a half hours during which you will be able to enjoy the views of Potrerillos dam, the pre-mountain range area and of some of the highest peaks in the Range. If you are lucky, you will be able to spot some "condors" and "guanacos" since it is their natural habitat. When finishing the hike, you will be welcomed by a typical Argentinean "asado" and wine from the region.

This is a great way to introduce yourself to the Andes. It was my first major trekk with the highest altitude I’ve done, and it was doable. Having proper boots helps though! The barbecue at the end is a fantastic way to refuel the body after a decent trekk. The tour guide was great and gave good tips as well. I highly recommend this!!!

It is promising to meet a local mountain guide, who is respecting nature and willing to develop his skills and services. With some more experience and small investments to asado facilities and equipment, the upgrade to five stars is evident. Hike like we had would take you in the middle of wildlife, inspiring nature and you will return back from the mountains full of energy.
