Operated by Go Mountain · Potrerillos, Mendoza
A cold wind from the Andes trims the morning as the minivan leaves Mendoza and the valley opens toward Potrerillos.

The trail threads through scrub and folded stone, the river daring you closer with every step.

The operator advises against participation for those with recent spinal injuries, serious heart conditions or pregnancy due to the physical demands and rappel component.
The Potrerillos valley evolved from seasonal grazing grounds into a hydroelectric and recreational corridor after the dam and reservoir works reshaped water use in the 20th century.
