Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Perfect stop for an hour or so if you're planning a day trip in the Andes. The history of the area is amazing, and the culture is very much alive. The local stalls are creative, colourful, and fun. The food is nice and the prices are very reasonable. Make sure that you're dressed for the conditions. Amazingly picturesque.

The legend of Puente del Inca is a wonderful story
based in history embellished with time.
Equal is the true story of the landslide which killed
30 people in the village but bypassed the small church.
Another great break from the drive.

It is a great little attraction you must see to fulfill your curiosity. It is a natural arch that forms a bridge over the Vacas River, a tributary of the Mendoza River. We visited it with a group of geologists and paleontologists and everybody had different theory regarding its origin and dating. Of interest might be that Darwin visited this place during his exploration of Andes. There is still an old spa near the bridge, the ruins of a hotel and an old church. On your way from the parking lot you can visit the souvenir stalls.

It's an interesting bridge, all the history about its construction and how the river flows and all that. Nothing super special, though.

This bridge is quite unique and the history around it makes it even more special.
It’s a quick stop from the trip to Aconcagua, worthy and good to buy some local souvenirs.

We spent a few nights at the hostel here before our climb in 1997. (TripAdvisor doesn't let me put that date in its "When did you visit" pull-down.) At that time you could still walk across the natural bridge as well as walk around the old spa buildings, but I understand it has been closed off for a number of years.

This is a hot spring and minerals crusting that is covers a natural bridge. The colors are worth photographing, There is an old Russian built spa there, which is now deserted. Nothing much else to look at here. Shops nearby sell tourist trinkets

Came here for a picnic lunch while returning from a visit to Aconcagua. This a beautiful sight, naturally created. There are some local artisans selling souvenirs nearby. There are picnic tables, and we brought s a picnic lunch and were able to enjoy it while enjoying the view of the land bridge. The place gets s little windy, so a jacket is a good idea. There didn’t appear to be any entry fee.

A significant bus ride outside of the city center, but full of gorgeous views. Upon arrival the mountains are incredible, there are many local venders, and the site itself is amazing. That being said I spent maybe an hour here. You could eat and drink if you wanted, but prices are quite inflated. Instead I walked about the road quite a ways to see the lake and mountain view.

This place left me amazed with all its naturally formed beauty and the stories surrounding it. However, I was there on a cold, gloomy day, so I guess I couldn't enjoy its colours to the fullest- and the weather certainly made the whole experience of this isolated site a bit eerie. Worth a visit!

VocĂŞ teve dificuldades para encontrar os pontos turĂsticos?
Quais pontos turĂsticos dá para fazer e em quanto tempo??
Achou que valeu a pena alugar o carro? Sabe se pode atravessar de Santiago para Mendoza de carro alugado em Santiago, sem problemas?
Written 2 October 2016
Os pontos turĂsticos entre mendoza e a divisa com o Chile sĂŁo muito fáceis de se acessar ao longo da estrada. Vale a pena alugar carro para esses passeios. Um dia inteiro foi suficiente. Estava nevando em alguns trechos, mas estava seguro. NĂŁo utilizei carro para a travessia para Santiago, fiz de Ă´nibus com a Cata, foi tranquilo, fui na parte superior primeira fila, com visual fantástico em toda viagem. Ao locar carro planeje bem a viagem, e nĂŁo utilize com precisĂŁo de nevascas.

Hola, quisiera saber si para reservar se puede pagar a traves de una cuenta en el banco con efectivo, como asi tambien si saben cuanto es la distancia desde el aeropuerto hasta el hotel, gracias
Written 24 March 2015
Hola no se puede reservar en el puente del Inca fue un hotel que ya no existe. Las fotos son de lo que quedo. Si podes averiguar en Penitentes que esta antes de llegar al Puente del Inca. Nosotros tomamos una excursión que nos llevo desde Mendoza Capital al puente del Inca. Es camino de alta Montaña. Incluso se ve el Aconcagua. En realidad te sugiero desde el aeropuerto te alojes en la ciudad de Mendoza y de ahà hagas las excursiones. El aeropuerto esta cerca de la ciudad. Espero haber respondido tu pregunta. Suerte
