Hiking in the Mountains of Mendoza | Epic Views & Hot Springs

Cerro los banos, view of the Potrerillos Dam

About this activity

Escape the city and discover one of Mendoza’s most rewarding adventures — a hike with epic views of the Andes and Lake Potrerillos, combined with the rare chance to relax in natural hot springs.

Unlike standard big-bus tours, I keep private groups small (maximum 6 people), so everything feels personal, flexible, and unhurried.

The route is not so much difficult as it is just long (5-6h), and most people with basic fitness can manage it well. Along the way there are a few short sections of easy climbing, which most travelers find fun.

If you prefer something lighter, we can shorten the route to the first viewpoint — already a beautiful spot, making the total hike about 3-4 hours instead of 6.
