It offers guided outdoor activities in a mountain setting, all led by trained and certified staff, suitable for travellers with no prior experience as well as those looking to combine several disciplines in a single day. Its programmes take place across the natural landscapes of the Mendoza pre-Andes, with the Cordón del Plata mountain range and the Potrerillos reservoir as the back.

Rafting on the Mendoza River is one of the most popular activities in the area. The river originates in the Andes mountain range and its flow varies according to the snowmelt season, making it possible to practise year-round with no previous experience required. Groups descend the river accompanied by certified guides who provide safety briefings before each outing.

Kayaking on the Potrerillos reservoir is offered as a guided tour across the calm waters of the dam, with direct views of the Cordón del Plata. It is an accessible option for a wide range of visitors and an ideal choice for those who prefer a water activity in sheltered conditions within the Potrerillos Valley.

The canopy and zip-line circuit consists of four cables with elevation change, set up at the company's operational base in the village of Potrerillos at over 1,400 metres above sea level. Mountain trekking involves guided walks along hills of moderate altitude, high enough to offer an authentic mountain experience within reach of most fitness levels. The horseback riding route crosses terrain with varied gradients, reaching viewpoints overlooking the Cordón del Plata and the reservoir.

For those with only one day in Potrerillos, the combined programmes bring together twomore disciplines in a full-day itinerary, making the most of available time with specialist mountain tourism guides in Mendoza. This format is particularly well suited to groups, families,travellers arriving from the city of Mendoza with limited time to spare.
