Mendoza has the privilege of being nestled alongside one of the most majestic mountain ranges on the planet. From the city, just minutes away, you can find panoramic viewpoints that open up to the Andes Mountains, with sunsets that paint the sky in copper and mauve.

In this guide, we've selected viewpoints accessible to all levels, with tips from the Diplomatic Hotel's concierge team to help you make the most of every outing.

1. Cerro de la Gloria, from the city center

An emblem of General San Martín Park, Cerro de la Gloria offers a unique perspective of the city and the snow-capped peaks on the horizon.

It's ideal for a short getaway at dusk.

Best time: one hour before sunset. The side lighting highlights the contours, and the sky often has pinkish hues.

“Seeing Aconcagua for the first time with the naked eye reminds you that the world is on a different scale.”

— Lucía Morales, certified mountain guide

What to always bring

• Reusable water (minimum 500 ml per person).
