Uspallata is a historic town that is related to the Crossing of the Andes in the fight for independence.

Puente del Inca
Located in the heart of the Andes Mountains, 2,720 meters above sea level, the Puente del Inca is a mountain area famous for its natural bridge, a unique geological curiosity in the world and declared a Natural Monument. The Bridge has been formed by the action of mineral waters. The river flow made its way through sediments deposited at the bottom of a trough and then cemented by the thermal waters. These give the area its orange, yellow and ocher color, and any object that is placed under them such a hardness due to the impregnation in mineral salts that it acquires a "petrified" appearance. On the right bank is home to the famous hot springs, with five sources of the same type, but with different temperatures and components. The unique hills next to it and the Las Cuevas River that passes dozens of meters below the bridge complete the postcard.

Please do not hire!!!! Go to Mendoza and do it on your own. It will be cheaper for them too!!!!!!
We weren't picked up. They left us without service and I had to ask for the refund which is not in fact a simple procedure. To hire and pay are super expeditious, to help in these situations are lousy.
Response from the operator: Lamentamos mucho lo sucedido, fueron problemas totalmente ajenos a la empresa. De todos modos, no se olvide que le invitamos el tour al otro día y no acepto. Saludos.-

Useless (for me)
Feeling like dumb and deaf. The operator agency had 3 to 4 buses, but I was in a bus where there was spanish speaking tour guide. Guides of other buses could speak english, so I think they should assign my place in one of those car.

Super All Day Tour.
The tour was amazing, our Guide was Mr. Alerrandro who passed us relevant information about every place we visited, was super attentive during the day and was always concerned about our safety. We ended the day in the 5-step menu at the restaurant Carolino, which was a wonderful experience, delicious dishes harmonized with a good wine and with a 10-point service. From the first contact until the end of the tour we received a SUPER attention, so I leave here my thanks and my indication.
Response from the operator: muchas gracias por tu opinion!!!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Visit to High Mountains (Aconcagua-Puente del Inca): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.
How much does Guided Visit to High Mountains (Aconcagua-Puente del Inca) cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Guided Visit to High Mountains (Aconcagua-Puente del Inca) take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Guided Visit to High Mountains (Aconcagua-Puente del Inca) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 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 Guided Visit to High Mountains (Aconcagua-Puente del Inca)?
+
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 Guided Visit to High Mountains (Aconcagua-Puente del Inca) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Guided Visit to High Mountains (Aconcagua-Puente del Inca)?
+
Around 2 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Visit to High Mountains (Aconcagua-Puente del Inca) 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, All Day, Small Group, Luxury Wine Tour with Gourmet Lunch, Andes High Mountain full day Tour. 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.
