Mendoza, a journey through mountains, wine, and history

Potrerillos captivates with its vast natural landscapes, fresh air, and unmatched tranquility. Its charming villages feature weekend homes, cozy rental cabins, camping spots, and numerous points of interest waiting to be discovered.

This destination is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering mountain sports like trekking, rappelling, and mountain biking, as well as water sports such as kayaking, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and sailing.

A highlight is the village of “El Salto,” an old settlement with tree-lined streets and weekend homes. Here, you can visit the “Cristo del Salto,” perched on a central hill with breathtaking views, or hike to the “El Salto” waterfall nestled in the mountain.

To the south, Vallecitos is home to Mendoza’s oldest ski slope, while Las Vegas offers a peaceful retreat with rental cabins and weekend homes. Following Route 89, the "Paso de la Carrera" takes you to Tupungato along one of the most scenic mountain routes.

The Potrerillos Lake also hides treasures like the sunken forest, where submerged trees emerge depending on the season. To the west, the old Potrerillos railway bridge crosses the Mendoza River, while to the east, the dam and the tunnel to Cacheuta add to the area’s charm. In summer, as water levels recede, the popular “playita” emerges, attracting visitors in search of relaxation.
