On the first day we are in Mendoza to travel to the Cordón del Plata, we will take advantage of this trip to visit the Potrerillos Dam and enjoy two days in the mountain range. Upon arrival, we will stay in a mountain refuge at 3000 meters that will allow us to rest and adapt to the altitude for the next day. For those who wish to carry out activities that day, in the afternoon we will visit the Veguitas camp at 3200 meters from which we will have an impressive view of the hills of the Valley. On the second day, we will prepare to walk to take the long-awaited summits that await us: these are 3 hills known as the beginning of "La Cadenita", ideal to have a first experience in the activity. We will go at a continuous pace, taking the necessary breaks but in continuous ascent. Once the activity is finished, which will last approximately 4 to 5 hours, we will return to the city of Mendoza to end the activity.
