Begin the day with an early departure from Mendoza and watch the landscape shift as you climb into the Andes.

Arrive in Cacheuta, a compact mountain village where a short stroll leads to a suspension bridge offering classic photo opportunities. The highlight at Cacheuta is the thermal complex, where pools frame views of rugged peaks and invite a restorative soak amid alpine air. A relaxed lunch by the springs, often a classic and traditional Argentinian barbecue, complements the tranquil setting.

After lunch, continue along the scenic road to the Potrerillos area. Pause at a viewpoint to absorb sweeping panoramas of the valley and the reservoir before descending to the dam itself.

The Dique Potrerillos shoreline provides a peaceful place to wander, sit and listen to water lapping against rock. Finish the day at El Salto Potrerillos, a charming spot where a waterfall meets the mountains for a memorable final scene.

The full-day itinerary balances gentle walking, relaxation and frequent photo stops to capture the high-mountain splendour.
