los penitentes sky resort

by solcitom87

Los Penitentes is a ski resort in Mendoza, Argentina about 25 km off Paso de Libertadores, which marks the border between Argentina and Chile, and 180 km from Mendoza Capital City, at the foot of Mount Aconcagua on Ruta 7This centre has 25 runs of different lengths and drops for beginner, advanced and expert skiers. The season ranges from mid-June to late August. The activities that can be carried out there include ski, snowboarding, and heli-skiing. There is also a number of services available, such as ski school, snow garden, shopping center, restaurants, hostels, hotels, kindergarten, and discoI didn't go to sky there, i just passed by when i was going to the limit with chile, but i didn't like that the sky resort is beside the route, it looked dangerous to me because a lot of trucks and buses go on this route.

Atuel canyon

by solcitom87

Yes, we have our own canyon and it's located in Mendoza.The Atuel Canyon is located near San Rafael City in the centre of Mendoza province.The wind and the rain among the years made really beautifulls sculptures in the Atuel Canyon that even seems like if they were made by hand by an artist. These natural sculptures bring thousands of tourist everyyear to this place.There is beautifull sightseeing on top of the canyon when you can see and sculpture called the submarine (it's in my pic)

The Aconcagua

by solcitom87

That's the Aconcagua!the second highest mountain in the world!!!The origin of the name is contested, it is either from the Arauca Aconca-Hue, which refers to the Aconcagua River and means 'comes from the other side' or the Quechua Ackon Cahuak, meaning 'Sentinel of Stone'.There is a panoramic place beside the rute where to take pictures!

cristo redentor monument

by solcitom87

Christ the Redeemer of the Andes is a monument high in the Andes at 3,832 metres (12,572 feet) above mean sea level on the border between Argentina and Chile. It was unveiled on 13 March 1904 as a celebration of the peaceful resolution of the border dispute between the two countries.The statue is located at the pass of La Cumbre, the highest point on the old road between Mendoza in Argentina and Santiago de Chile. The nearest major settlements are the Argentine town of Uspallata and Juncal in Chile. The closest village is Las Cuevas. The road climbs 1km over a sinuous 9km from Las Cuevas to the pass. The road is only accessible in summer months, when there is no snow. Winter temperatures can reach -30°C.

Puente del Inca!

by solcitom87

this is one of my favourite places in Mendoza "puente del Inca" , Inca's Bridge! It' s a natural arch that forms a bridge over the Vacas River, a tributary of the Mendoza River. Scientists speculate that interaction of extreme elements like ice and hot springs was involved in the origin of the formation. They suppose that in ancient times ice covered the river and acted as support for avalanches of snow, dust and rocks. So the dust over the ice over the river would have served as a path for the sulfurous water and petrified the surface, so when the snow melted, the bridge remained by itself.it's called " puente del inca" because the Inca Civilitation used to pass over this bridge while they were on this area.In the early twentieth century there was a big Thermal Resort and Spa called "hotel Puente del Inca" that used the hot springs to cure some illnesses.There was a train station that...

Cerro de la Gloria in Bike -Subida en bici

by kikekike

Mendoza -'in the desert'-has a great park very close to the center. It is really big (bigger than Retiro in Madrid, for instance) and at its tip, there is a 300m high hill - El Cerro de la Gloria. So I thought it would be a nice idea to rent a bike and go to the park and up. The climb was supposed to be challenging, but it was not so much, since there are lots of bends and is one way -which makes it also safe (the park is not car-free). At the summit there is a big, pompous monument to the Ejercito de los Andes y San Martin.The views on the city and the mountains when you climb are gorgeous -I made it in the late afternoon. I rented the bike in Las Heras street at six and gave it back at half past eight.

And the Spa !

by Bwana_Brown

The natural bridge and hot springs spa at Puente del Inca were one of the most amazing things that we experienced during our entire 2-week trip to Argentina (see my 'Puente del Inca' page for more photos and details)!The mineral waters bubbling out of the volcanic grounds here are very rich in sulpher, resulting in a yellowish hue to the deposits that solidify once they reach the surface. Over the ages, a natural bridge was formed by these deposits, today providing an arch 70 feet above the brown and fast-flowing Cuevas River.A luxury resort hotel was developed at Puente del Inca (in operation from 1925-1965) to allow patrons to enjoy the benefits of the soothing thermal baths, but that all came to a sudden end with an avalanche. Today, the baths are derelict, but it certainly is fun to explore the ruins and walk beneath the natural bridge.
