A 200km climb from Mendoza's wine country to the 3,200m Argentina-Chile border at Las Cuevas, passing the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere. RN7 ascends through the Mendoza River canyon to the wide Uspallata Valley (Seven Years in Tibet was filmed here), then climbs past the eroded rock spires of Los Penitentes, the sulfur-stained natural arch of Puente del Inca, and the Aconcagua trailhead at 6,961m. Snow closes the high section May–October. Border permits required if continuing to Chile.
