The complete route is just over 13 km long. It is recommended to travel by car, as some areas near San Martín Park are not very safe.
One of the main highlights of the route is "Cerro Arco", the highest peak near the Greater Mendoza area, standing at 1,600 meters above sea level. From the summit, you can see the city's telecommunications infrastructure, even at night. In addition to the views, you can enjoy activities such as paragliding and trekking.
From the top, you’ll experience one of the best views of the city.
The Nuestra Señora de Lourdes Church, completed in 2010, is the busiest church in Mendoza, known for its architectural beauty and the tranquility of its surroundings. It is a modern building, 60 meters high, with a capacity for 4,000 people. In February, it hosts a significant pilgrimage.
Near Cerro Arco is the Challao viewpoint, offering a stunning view of the city of Mendoza and its surroundings. At night, it may be the best place to admire the cityscape.
