In this opportunity we offer a short circuit of slight difficulty that starts arriving by car from the city of Mendoza to Las Compuertas in Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo. There, where the bike path begins, we can leave our car parked and continue on our bicycle to Cacheuta. The bike path goes along Route 82, it is about 7 KM
The bike path is about 7 KM and ends shortly before the old plant of Álvarez Condarco. The state of it is very good and the ascent is smooth but continuous. After the bike path ends, the road continues along Route 82. At the curve of Blanco Encalada, the Mendoza River is leveled and the landscape becomes closed but very attractive. The ascent for pedaling is intensified by passing the abandoned tunnel.
Another alternative is to arrive by car to Blanco Encalada and get on the bike to start the ascent on the curve that gets fully into the canyon. It is advisable to leave early in the morning and return, lunch at El Coirón, located at km 30 before the plant and the curve.
A crossing full of curves and countercurves, continuous ups and downs that are part of the last trip with several panoramic points to make a stop and look out to see the river. It is advisable to leave early in the morning, have lunch at the point of arrival at one of the restaurants in Cacheuta since the area is characterized by the presence of bars and mountain restaurants, and then undertake the return.
