Operated by RipioTurismo · Potrerillos, Mendoza
The day begins on a gravel road out of Potrerillos, where cool Andean wind tugs at your jacket and the valley opens into steep, stony slopes. Guides gather the group, the rattling of harnesses and a quick safety briefing punctuating the quiet. A trail threads upward through low scrub and volcanic rock, then drops into a narrow ravine where a small waterfall — Quebrada del Salto — chases sunlight down an 18-meter wall.

The Potrerillos valley sits along historic transit routes through the Andes foothills; local trails follow paths used for centuries by indigenous peoples and later by muleteers. Geological uplift and seasonal meltwater carved the quebradas and exposed layered volcanic rock.
Water is scarce in Mendoza—stick to trails, pack out all trash and avoid disturbing riparian vegetation; use biodegradable products and follow guide instructions to minimize erosion in the ravine.
