Zipline across Cerro Frías near El Calafate on four 500-meter lines, with lenga forest, National Park views, lunch, and a small group.
“The tour guides are energetic, interesting and humorous, they make the tour better than we’ve imagined!”
Review of El Calafate’s 4WD Balcony adventure, with glacier views, trekking, zipline or 4x4 descent, food, price, and practical tips.

Review of Mendoza’s 10-hour rafting and zipline tour, with class 2 rapids, hotel pickup, mountain views, costs, timing, and tips.
“We had a fantastic day on this excursion. Professional and friendly staff. Spectacular views and a great facility that offered everything we needed. We had a lovely lunch enjoying the views. Claudio was a terrific guide on the rafting portion. There was a long time in between excursions and a limited number of English speaking personnel. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.”
Zip across Potrerillos Valley near Mendoza on five or six ziplines, with Andes views, hotel pickup, guides, and practical tips.
“The best thoughts start with the crew guiding ziplining. Knowledge about this sport, the terain, the process, and the equipment. Each person is given special care and guidance. Climbing the terrain is not difficult, but one needs to be in reasonable physical and cardio health to climb to each station. Wonderful views, fun rides. Thank you for a great memory! Highly recommend!”
Rappel 30 meters, trek through the Andes, and zipline over the Mendoza River, with practical advice on value, timing, safety, and drawbacks.
“It was unfortunately a big waste of time thanks to poor organization. We lost an activity and spend most of the time waiting while no one felt responsible.”
Review of Bariloche’s Cerro Lopez zipline: 10 platforms, mountain and lake views, transport, safety details, price, and practical booking tips.
“Thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Staff/guides very helpful and informative. Thankfully we had an English/Spanish speaking person in our zip line group! We might have been in trouble otherwise. Didn’t understand what a ‘canopy’ zip line was but do now. Seven platforms - the zipping went by way too quickly. Look forward to zip lining again!”
Review of EUCA Mendoza’s 71 aerial games and 26 zip lines, with safety details, food tips, price advice, and booking guidance.
“Just plain fun, staff was great and helpful. Only wish I would have had more strength to do more obstacle!”
Review of El Calafate’s 4WD mountain adventure, with Andes views, wildlife, lunch, and optional trekking or zipline descent.
“This tour is not great for the price you pay. You do have some nice views and we could see the Andes mountains. Again, really not worth it for the price. The reason I went as far as a 3 star is because the lunch was decent and you got lots. And the guides were great.”
Every kind of Argentine day, and the best of each.
