Trail description

A 9.5 km climb of about 860 m to the 2,316 m summit of Cerro Cacheuta, above the Mendoza River between Cacheuta and Potrerillos. The first half follows a dirt track up a dry stream bed from Ruta Provincial 82, then a path climbs the ridge with views over the Potrerillos reservoir and the Cordón del Plata. There is no shade or water: carry plenty, avoid the midday heat in summer and return the same way.
