    Time to escape the city.

    Full day trip worth every penny. Knowledgeable guide (Federico) who spoke Spanish at a speed I could understand and then repeated in English for my benefit. Stunning scenery. Sufficient time at each point of interest. Good value lunch at 20,000 ARS including a drink. No hesitation in recommending. Take something warm to wear it gets a little chilly. Take a water bottle and fill it up in the stream.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the stunning Andes scenery and felt well looked after by Federico. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Mendoza! Tangol Tours

    Touring the mountains

    It's an impressive 10-hour bus ride through the mountains with stops at interesting view points. Unfortunately our tour guide Laila did not speak English but she was creative and at every stop she asked a guide from a different tour to give us a short summary in English. It would have been nice if the company had provided a flyer with the basic information in English. Our guide was very caring about the travelers.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience, Harald! We’re glad you enjoyed the impressive mountain scenery and the different viewpoints. We also truly appreciate your feedback regarding the English information and will keep it in mind as we continue improving the experience. We’re happy to hear that Laila took such good care of you!

    High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 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 High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour 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 High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 103 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 High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour?

    +

    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 High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour 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 High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour?

    +

    Around 36 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 High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour 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 High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional English / Spanish Tour Guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected hotels only). Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    What happens to High Mountain from Mendoza: Puente del Inca & Andes Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
