Hotel pickup from Mendoza City is included, with harness, helmet, and a bilingual briefing before you clip in. 📋 Key Details Duration: about 1 hour 30 minutes on the circuit, 4 to 6 hours including transfers Course: five sections over the Mendoza River Height: about 10 metres above the water Location: Potrerillos Pickup: hotels in the designated Mendoza City area 🪂 What to Expect At the Potrerillos base you register, step into a harness and helmet, and listen to a safety briefing that covers how to sit, how to brake, and how to wait on each platform. A short mountain walk then takes you to the first line, so you are already in the dry hills before anyone clips on. You fly five sections on a reinforced steel cable, crossing the river corridor about 10 metres up, with guides moving you from platform to platform. The circuit itself is about one hour 30 minutes. Then you walk back, shed the harness, and drive to Mendoza with the same vehicle. 📍 Location The lines hang over the Mendoza River in Potrerillos, in a dry Andean valley west of the city. From the platforms you see the water, the reservoir country, and the open slopes rather than a forest canopy. The approach hike is short, but it already puts you on pale hillside above the river instead of a park course in town. Mendoza City is still the start and finish. The drive west is short enough for a same-day return, long enough to leave the grid behind and feel the air change as the vineyards give way to the river corridor. You are dropped back downtown after the last landing. ✅ Prerequisites No previous zip-lining is required. You should be happy with height and able to walk a short uneven approach in closed shoes. Everyday fitness is enough. Flip-flops and sandals are not allowed. Bring sun protection and a warm layer. Closed trainers stay on for the approach hike and every platform. ⭐ Why Choose Us The Base course is the shorter of two Potrerillos circuits this Mendoza team has run for visitors since 1966, with bilingual guides on the platforms rather than a self-clip operation. Hotel pickup is built in. Harnesses are fitted on site and the briefing happens before the first section. You get a clear first look at flying the river corridor without committing to the longer Adrenaline layout. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup within the designated Mendoza City area Five-section Base zip-line course Short hike to the platforms Individual harness and helmet Safety briefing and bilingual guide Personal accident insurance during the activity ### What’s not included Transport to a meeting point if you stay outside the designated pickup area Lunch Personal travel insurance ### Kit list Closed trainers or walking shoes Comfortable clothes, ideally light long trousers Sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses with a strap Warm layer Water bottle ## FAQs ### What does the Base course include? You walk a short mountain approach, then fly five zip-line sections on a steel cable about 10 metres above the Mendoza River. Harness, helmet, and a safety briefing are included before anyone clips in. Hotel pickup in the designated Mendoza City area and a bilingual guide come with the outing. The circuit itself is about one hour 30 minutes; the full trip including transfers is around four to six hours. ### How long does it last? The circuit is about one hour 30 minutes once you are on the lines. The full outing, including hotel pickup and time at the Potrerillos base, is around four to six hours door to door. You return to Mendoza the same day. Arrival at the base is typically around 11:00, so the circuit sits in the middle of a same-day loop from the city. ### Do I need experience? No previous zip-lining is required. Guides fit your harness and talk through braking and body position before the first section. You should be happy with height and able to walk a short uneven approach in closed shoes. Everyday fitness is enough for this shorter of the two Potrerillos circuits. ### What should I wear? Closed trainers or walking shoes are required. Flip-flops, sandals, and bare feet are not allowed on the course or the approach hike. Wear comfortable clothes, ideally long light trousers to reduce harness rub, plus sun protection and a warm layer. The mountain air can drop even in summer. ### 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 zip-line base is in Potrerillos. You return to Mendoza with the same vehicle at the end of the outing and are dropped where you started. ### What kit is provided? An individual harness and helmet are fitted at the base. Guides stay with the group on the platforms and move you from line to line. You do not need to bring your own technical kit. Keep phones clipped or in a bag you are happy to leave at the base. ### What if the weather is poor? These days run in typical mountain weather. If the lines are not safe, the team may reschedule and will be in touch with the new plan. Wind on the cables matters more than light rain. Dress so you can add a layer after you come off the last section, because the platforms sit in open hillside air. ### How is this different from the Adrenaline course? The Base course is five sections at about 10 metres above the river. The Adrenaline course adds a sixth section and more time on the cables. If you want a shorter first look at zip-lining in Potrerillos, this is the quieter of the two. Both use the same river corridor and the same pickup from Mendoza City. ### Is food included? Lunch is not included. Bring water and a snack if you usually eat mid-morning, because time at the base is for harness fitting rather than a sit-down meal. There is time at the base before and after the circuit. Eat a proper meal before pickup if you want more than a snack, or wait until you are back in Mendoza. ### Is there a minimum age? Children who can walk the approach and follow harness instructions are usually welcome on a shared departure. Closed shoes are required for the whole circuit. If you are travelling with younger children, ask the team before you book so they can confirm the day's limits. This is the shorter of the two Potrerillos circuits. ## 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/d0f60649-dcf0-426d-a34b-eceff139c76c.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.
