PREMIUM HIGH MOUNTAIN
Route 7 : The Andes and the Aconcagua
170U$D
Wonderful day on the high mountains all the way to the Aconcagua Park. The private tour was well worth the fee as allowed me to stop at any time in the best and secluded places, well known by our tour guide. The magnificent views of Andes rounded up to a memorable day.
I wholeheartedly recommend the experienced and professional services of Mendoza Andes and the trustworthy suggestions of their team. Thanks again for the awesome experience!
