Not every traveler experiences the mountains in the same way, so we don’t follow one fixed hiking route for every departure. We keep groups small, allowing the guide to choose the most suitable route and adjust the pace according to the participants’ fitness, experience and the conditions on the day. You may explore high-altitude valleys and streams or, when the group and conditions allow, continue toward more demanding trails and higher viewpoints. This is a hiking experience for travelers who want to explore the Andes on foot, beyond the usual scenic stops. Transportation from Mendoza, a professional mountain guide, food and the necessary mountain logistics are organized as part of the day, so you can focus on the hike and the landscape.

    Great hike with lots of animal sightings!

    We had a great day in the mountains. Our guide adapted the tour to our experience and wishes. Saw Condors and Guanacos! Perfect day! :)

    Beautiful and memorable experience!

    A wonderful day hike experience led by our guide Matias. He was an engaging and knowledgeable guide who took great care to make it memorable. The thoughtfully prepared lunch at the top was fantastic!

    Lovely hiking trip but expensive

    Lovely hiking trip to a beautiful part of Argentina. Our guide made us a lovely lunch which we had at the top. However the trip to the mountain was over 2 hours and we would have liked if there was more conversation from our guide. It was an expensive trip and we don’t feel it was the best value.

    Response from the operator: Hello Marion! We are sorry that your experience with us was not satisfactory. We find it a little strange that you mention the 2-hour trip that is in the description of our service, since if one wants to go to the Andes, you must travel at least 90 km to it. On the other hand, you had a private tour, with a guide all day and transportation that covered more than 200 km and was with you for more than 8 hours. The value of the tour is in the costs that an activity like this requires. The strangest thing is that we look for your name both in the reservations and in the insurance to see which guide you got, and it doesn't appear. But well, sometimes it can happen that some people like the guide to speak more or less, we always try to have all the people who make Destino Montaña, are trained in security, are professional and cordial. We send you greetings!

    Wonderful hike

    The hike was perfect. Vanina was a delight of a guide. The drive from Mendoza was gorgeous. The hike was demanding but not difficult or technical. The high altitude (3000m +) meant we had to take it slow. We saw so many animals and the lunch was delicious.

    No brainer

    We 100% recommend this tour! The hike was certainly challenging, but our guide Fernando was fantastic. His knowledge and energy/passion was incredible and the scenery was top class.

    Andes Hiking Experience Full Day: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Andes Hiking Experience Full Day cost?

    +

    Prices start at $236 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 Hiking Experience Full Day take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Hiking Experience Full Day worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 42 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 Hiking Experience Full Day?

    +

    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 Hiking Experience Full Day suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

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

    +

    Around 15 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Andes Hiking Experience Full Day 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.
