See Potrerillos from the sky, touch the water from a boat, and savor regional flavors in a single day. A motivating, high-energy experience that reveals Mendoza from a whole new perspective.

Enjoy Mendoza from above with a 50-minute helicopter flight over the Potrerillos Dam. The experience begins with pickup at your hotel and a private transfer to the heliport. There, after a short preparation, you board the helicopter and take off toward the dam. From above, the water stretches out surrounded by mountains, offering panoramic views that you can enjoy at a relaxed pace throughout the flight.

As you fly over the reservoir, you will learn about the importance of the dam in the region’s water management. It is an unforgettable experience and a different way to connect with Mendoza, with its landscape and with the resource that makes it possible.

What do you need for this tour?

Essential items

We suggest you to bring these items for personal use to make your excursion perfect:

Small backpack.
Extra mineral water.
Personal care items (lip balm with sunscreen, sunscreen, antibacterial gel/wipes, insect repellent).
Special clothing: comfortable clothing appropriate to the weather forecast and footwear suitable for the activity.

Safety tips: Inform the guide or driver about any illness, allergy or physical restriction. Remember to bring your medication and administration instructions.

Note: The best clothing for mountain activities is wool or synthetic materials in layers, as they dry quickly and keep warmth better. We suggest a base layer, then an intermediate layer, such as a light fleece coat or similar, and then a windproof and waterproof layer.
