We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Our hikes in the rugged Andes of Mendoza Province follow remote paths many of which do not intersect with roads. Vehicles will get us to and from the trailheads, but the nature of these trails is such that we won't see our vehicles along the route. Ample trail support in the form of water, snacks, and encouragement is provided by your Backroads leaders and local guides.
