A cold wind from the Andes cuts across the valley as you step onto the base platform above Potrerillos. From this ridge the world opens: terraced vineyards below, craggy scrub on the slopes, and five steel cables leading you out, one by one, into the air. The first clip-in is deliberate; the next moment the canyon pulls you forward and the valley expands with every glide.

A cold wind from the Andes cuts across the valley as you step onto the base platform above Potrerillos. From this ridge the world opens: terraced vineyards below, craggy scrub on the slopes, and five steel cables leading you out, one by one, into the air. The first clip-in is deliberate; the next moment the canyon pulls you forward and the valley expands with every glide.
The Potrerillos area sits on the eastern flank of the Andean foothills, shaped by ancient uplift and recent reservoir engineering. The nearby Dique Potrerillos created a dramatic shoreline that now frames outdoor recreation—zipline circuits here use natural ridgelines and cleared forest patches to offer sustained views rather than short bursts.
This course has five lines totaling about 700 meters with average heights near 40 meters, suitable for beginners through confident first-timers. Guides provide bilingual safety briefings, helmet and harness fitting, and step-by-step coaching, and transfers from central Mendoza simplify logistics.
Expect forested platforms, wind-exposed ridges and a sequence of short runs that build confidence. Practical points: wear closed-toe sports shoes and layered clothing; bring sunscreen and a small daypack; stow loose items. The whole excursion runs about four hours including transfers, making it a half-day outing that pairs well with afternoon wine-country plans in Mendoza.
Safety notes are straightforward—no children under six, and those with significant spinal or heart issues should abstain. For photographers: choose a compact camera with a wrist strap and plan to soak up the mountain light at mid-afternoon for the best contrast.
