More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
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.
