Whenever you have the possibility to visit Mendoza by car, or rent a car, you should do the "circle" around Mendoza - as this gives you a fantastic view of the Andes and brings you to all the hidden beauties of the area. The best is to drive north through Las Heras, then to Villavicencio ("home" of the natural water), then westwards along a gravel road which winds up high into the Precordillera. Along you pass a gigantic gorge, victim of earth's geological activity, some abandoned towns (mineries) - until you finally reach an altitude of approx. 3200 m - giving you a prime view of the mountain range. You drive down to Uspallata, can enjoy it's numerous restaurants and the specialities of the region and drive back to Mendoza via Ruta 7 (the connection between Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires), passing the Potrerillos lake.
Along the "circulo" around Mendoza, one of the highlights is definitely Cruz de Paramillo, a 3000 m high viewpoint for the magnificent Cordillera. Not only that you can see the multicolor effects of this great mountain range, but you also see all these 4000-5000-6000 m high peaks - with Aconcagua being the highest there, 6959 m.
