Hotel pickup from Mendoza City is included, so you can spend a full walking day in the foothills without arranging your own transfer. 📋 Key Details Duration: about 5 hours on the trail, 7 to 8 hours including transfers Location: Cerro Cabras, Potrerillos Minimum age: 12 Lunch: packed lunch on the hill Pickup: hotels in the designated Mendoza City area 🥾 What to Expect After the drive from Mendoza you meet the guide, sort water and the lunch box into a small backpack, and start up the Cerro Cabras paths. The walking is about five hours in total, with pauses to look at the valley and eat, rather than a continuous push. The guide sets a steady pace so the lunch stop feels like part of the day, not a scramble for a summit. You climb and descend on native trails with views over Potrerillos, then walk back to the vehicle and return to the city the same day. Mineral water and a granola bar sit alongside the packed lunch so you are not relying on a single snack between rest stops. 📍 Location Cerro Cabras rises from the Potrerillos foothills west of Mendoza, in dry Andean country rather than a vineyard walk. The paths feel properly mountainous while staying a same-day drive from the city: pale slopes, open views, and native scrub instead of a forested national-park trail. From the higher stretches you look over the valley and the reservoir country that sits below the hill. Mendoza City remains the start and finish. The drive west is part of leaving the grid for a hill day, not an expedition approach, and it is long enough to watch the vineyards give way to the foothills before you start walking. You are dropped downtown after the descent. ✅ Prerequisites No previous trekking is required, but you should be happy walking for about five hours on uneven ground. Everyday hill fitness is enough. The minimum age is 12. Closed shoes with grip are required. Bring sun protection and a small backpack, because shade is limited once you leave the vehicle. Long trousers help against sun and scrub on the native paths. ⭐ Why Choose Us Guided hill days out of Mendoza have been this team's work since 1966, and Cerro Cabras is a regular full walking day rather than a last-minute add-on. A bilingual guide stays with you on the ascent and descent. Pickup, lunch, and water are built in, so you can focus on the trail. The outing is paced with… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup within the designated Mendoza City area Guided five-hour trek on Cerro Cabras Professional bilingual guide Mineral water and a granola bar Packed lunch Personal accident insurance during the activity ### What’s not included Transport to a meeting point if you stay outside the designated pickup area Personal travel insurance ### Kit list Walking shoes with grip Layers and a light wind shell Sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses Small backpack Long trousers ## FAQs ### What is included? You walk about five hours on the Cerro Cabras trails with a bilingual guide, with rest stops and a packed lunch on the hill. Hotel pickup from the designated Mendoza City area is included. Mineral water, a granola bar, and personal accident insurance come with the outing. The full trip including transfers is around seven to eight hours from leaving Mendoza to being dropped back. ### How long is the walk? Time on the trail is about five hours, including rest stops and lunch. The full outing including hotel pickup is around seven to eight hours door to door. You return to Mendoza the same day. Meeting at the trail side is typically around 11:00 after the drive from the city, so the walking block sits in the middle of the outing. ### Do I need hiking experience? No previous trekking is required, but you should be happy walking for about five hours on uneven mountain paths. Everyday hill fitness is enough for this pace. The minimum age is 12. Closed shoes with grip are essential. Come ready for a full hill day rather than a short viewpoint walk. ### What should I wear? Wear walking shoes with a decent sole, layers, and a light wind shell. Pack sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, because shade is limited once you leave the vehicle. A small backpack is useful for the lunch box and water. Long trousers help against sun and scrub on the native paths. ### Where do we meet? You are collected from hotels in the designated Mendoza City area, or from a nearby meeting point if you stay further out. Stays within about 1.5 km of Plaza Independencia are usually covered. The trail sits in the Potrerillos hills. You return to Mendoza with the same vehicle at the end of the outing and are dropped where you started. ### Is lunch included? Yes. A packed lunch is included: sandwich, snacks, nuts, seasonal fruit, vegetables, cereals, juice, and water, plus a granola bar and mineral water on the walk. The lunch stop is part of the five hours on the hill, not a restaurant pause in town. Eat before pickup if you usually want more than the packed box on a long walking day. ### What if the weather is poor? These days run in typical dry-mountain weather. If the trail is not safe, the team may reschedule and will be in touch with the new plan. Sun and wind are more common than rain. Layers and sun protection matter more than a heavy waterproof, though a light shell is still useful if the forecast looks changeable. ### What is the minimum age? The minimum age is 12. Anyone under 18 should come with a responsible adult who stays with them on the ascent and descent. Mention ages so the guide can pace the group. This is a longer walk than Devil's Throat, so it suits guests who want a full hill day rather than a two-hour outing. ### What kit is provided? Trekking kit that the operator provides is included. You still need your own walking shoes and a small backpack for lunch and water. Poles are not listed as standard. Bring your own if you usually walk with them. Closed shoes with grip stay on for the whole climb and descent. ### Is there a guide? A bilingual guide stays with the group on the ascent and descent, with rest stops built in so the day does not become a summit race. Shared departures are typically one to 23 people. The walk is paced as a mountain day, with time to eat and look at the valley rather than rush the turnaround. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/ce786d4c-9e6f-4587-a6cd-20c038a83d2c.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
