Are you looking for an exciting hiking experience in the Andes? Then let me take you to Vallecitos, near Mendoza, for a 2-day adventure!
Vallecitos is located at the foot of Cordon del Plata, a sub-mountain range of the Andes. With peaks ranging from 3000 to 6000 meters, this area is a popular acclimatization center before ascending Aconcagua. Besides, its own mountains are perfect for beginners or intermediate hikers who want to try themselves with amazing ascents.
For this 2-day trek, I will pick you up at your hotel, airport or bus station, and transfer you to Vallecitos – Potrerillos (85km from Mendoza city). Once at the mountain hut, you will have short security briefing and start the adventure!
We will reach the summit of two of the most important peaks in Cordon del Plata: Mount Arenales (3376m), the first day, and Mount Lomas Blancas (3880m) the second day. Exciting hikes and breathtaking views of the Andes are guaranteed!
For this trip you will need to have a good fitness level. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you every step of the way!
So, if you are up for an awesome outdoor experience near Mendoza, please get in touch with me. Let’s go to Vallecitos (Cordon del Plata) to enjoy two days of trekking!

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
