Experience a unique combination of trekking and rappelling in the foothills of the Andes. Follow mountain trails to El Salto Waterfall and descend its 18-meter wall with professional gear and expert guidance.

Trekking with rappel in Potrerillos

This trekking with rappelling combines the serenity of walking at the foothills of the Andes Mountains with the adrenaline of descending an 18-meter waterfall. Early in the morning, you’ll head to Potrerillos, a village surrounded by hills and adventure. Along with a group of travelers, you’ll follow trails along a stream, through mountains and jarilla bushes, spotting birds and local wildlife. The moderate-difficulty hike allows you to enjoy nature at a relaxed pace.

Upon reaching the impressive El Salto Waterfall, those who dare can rappel down its side walls using a helmet, gloves, and harness, feeling the thrill and freedom of the descent. After refreshing yourself with glacial water, you’ll return to the city with the energy of the mountains still within you. This experience aligns with our sustainable philosophy, contributing to water conservation in Mendoza.

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.
