Beautiful daily walk if you want to explore Parque General San Martin and climb up to Cerro de la Gloria. You can go by foot all the way (not for everyone), on a bike, or maybe just take the bus if you want and hop off at the monuments base. The General San Martin monument was closed to the public, so was the toilets at the top (hope they fix everything soon), anyway the view at the top its breathtaking and worth every step of the way.

Astonishing place, just 1 hour from Mendoza city, if you can go by car is better because you can freely choose between stops and the distances are far for walking. On the other hand you can take a bus (AR$81 by ticket) and hop off on the second stop (the first one after Cacheuta). The Dam itself its a marvelous lake with blue waters and high mountains you can see the Aconcagua from certain places.It becomes the perfect activity for a whole day, pack some food, beverages and a speaker if you want, invite some friends over and enjoy. Just be cautious of the sun there is no shading. Some spots has kayak and other rental activities for the day.
3. El Camino de las 365 Curvas

This is the road that Darwin travelled on (there is a plaque by the road in memory of him). Passed Villavicencio the road is unpaved but in good condition. We saw very little traffic (which is a good thing) and what we did see were motorbikes. The road is very twisty and they call it the road of the year as it has 365 curves in it. Great scenery and you will see wildlife, we saw foxes, condors and loads of guanacos. Most traffic seems to go from Villavicenio to Upsalatta, I say this as we didn't meet any traffic coming the other way. Eventually to get to a look out point where the road splits and a section goes to the observatory. On a clear day you will get views of Aconcagua. There is the usual cross there and after that it is all downhill to Upsalatta. About half way down you hit (not great) tarmac again. Definitely worth doing if you have a car.

The Inca's bridge is a rocky formation that forms a natural bridge over Las Cuevas river, it's the most pleasant place I have ever been. It's quiet and beautiful. The best part is the friendliness of the people who live in the surrounding villages. I highly recommend it.

We have visited this place yesterday (22 May, 2018). We were traveling from Argentina to Chile and it was a bit difficult to find turn to the road. My advice is to trust google maps and go by directions. Turn to the left is not seen at all. We have made trip through tunnel, paid 30$, turned arround, went back, found road and after that we have paid 30$ once again for using tunnel to go to chile :) That was worth of it! Road was excellent, driving tooked approx.40min to go up, no cars was on the road, neither on the top. We were only one visitors, everything was closed and you can feel pure silence and beauty of mountains. Few meters of road was covered by melting ice, but we saw that road from Chile side was covered with ice and snow fully, do not recommend to go from that side. We came back the same way, made lots of photos. You can go by standard car, just need to pay attention on the road, there are some rocks where standard car can be hitten because of its hight

I was travelling on Route 150 on my way to a mine site for work. The geology is stunning. My co-workers I stopped at a small local deli in Las Flores for a sandwich. I wish I could remember the name. There were numerous laying on the grass in the hot sun to greet us. They hardly acknowledged our presence.
