It is quite a car ride (over 2 hours) to get up to the "park " (more of a wilderness) on the border with Chile, but well worth it. Fantastic scenery. Good trails.

The mountain is nice to see and you get a few nice pictures but it is a bit far and pricey to get there. If you travel by bus between Mendoza and Santiago (Chile) you will get a chance to see the scenery anyway More

At least on weekends, there are 40 - 60 stalls selling artwork, food, and clothing. There is entertainment some nights (no charge). It's across from the Hyatt Regency Mendoza and worth a visit. More

This place is not to be missed. This was our first trip into the mountains after a week studying Spanish in the blistering heat of Mendoza. Outstanding scenery, beautiful views and fantastic walking opportunities. It is close to the Chilean border so there is a real mix of people visiting. Fabulous and breathtaking. More

The drive up was great. We stopped in Uspallata and had a great meal.Puente del Inca and the mountain climber's grave yard were also an interesting stop coming back. Villavicencio is another great day trip with a wonderful little restaurant. More
