    Very happy hikers!

    We had a wonderful time at Cordon del Plata with Agustín and Matias. We had a private group of 4 with pairs at different paces, and they created a perfect day for both of us. Agustín took the faster hikers up Lomas Blancas and Caucaso then down the moraine, while Matias and the slower group did Arenales only. Everyone had a perfect day for their ability and experience with altitude and were very happy! The park is beautiful with a great view of the valley and mountains. We even saw some epic condors and guanajo.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share this review! We’re truly happy to read that you had such a great experience at Cordon del Plata with Agustín and Matías. Designing the day according to each pair’s pace and altitude experience is exactly how we believe mountain guiding should be done — personalized, flexible, and focused on making sure everyone enjoys the best possible version of the adventure. Lomas Blancas, Caucaso, Arenales… that’s a fantastic combination. And spotting condors and guanacos always makes the Andes feel even more epic. It was a pleasure guiding your group, and we’re proud that both teams finished the day feeling accomplished and happy. You’ll always have a mountain waiting for you here in Mendoza. Thank you again for trusting Andes Vertical.

    Excellent hike

    The experience is incredible, from communication prior to the event, to my guide, Mati, an incredible guy. The pace was slow and we conquered 3 x 3000+m summits.

    Response from the operator: Thank you!!

    Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.

    How much does Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $207 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mendoza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mendoza is not rushed.

    Is Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mendoza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mendoza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mendoza and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mendoza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mendoza?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mendoza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include High Mountain, Aconcagua and Inca Bridge, Andes High Mountain full day Tour, Horseback riding and roast in the mountains of Mendoza. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mendoza?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mendoza?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience?

    +

    Included: Round-trip private transportation from your hotel in Mendoza town; Walking poles; and Professional bilingual guide. Not included: Personal gear; Phone communications and items of personal nature; Insurance liability; and Ground or air evacuations. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 62 listed pickup locations in and around Mendoza. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Mendoza. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Andes Day Hiking Tour Experience?

    +
