Paso de la Carrera (RP 89)
Mendoza
Between the villages of Potrerillos and Tupungato, mountains decorate the landscape. One after the other, they overlap to give this route the rhythm of a song. The intense greens surprise in summer; small flowers, in spring; the thousand ochre shades, in autumn; and the deep and silent white tones, in winter. In any season of the year, Cordón del Plata and its peaks of more than 6,000 metres dazzle visitors with infinite snow.
Vineyards and fertile fields, sharp curves almost halfway along the route, and a natural viewpoint inviting you to contemplate the vast valley make La Carrera Circuit one of the most beautiful and least known roads in Mendoza.
