Ziplining Potrerillos Mendoza: 6 Mountain Lines

Six lines strung between the mountains, two crossing the river, all of it 60 meters up

Ziplining in Potrerillos is an activity where you fly across six cables covering 1,400 meters at roughly 60 meters high, with two lines crossing the Mendoza River. A professional bilingual guide meets you at the base, walks you through safety, and sends you out to clip in and ride. The morning departs from Mendoza hotels, and the afternoon brings you back after a break at the base restaurant.

The experience

You have a free afternoon in Mendoza and want to move fast. The pickup comes to your hotel in the city center early, and the drive to Potrerillos takes you into the foothills where the base sits ready. An expert guide briefs you on safety and gear before you step into the harness. This is not a passive watch. You are the one clipping in, the one running the brake, the one deciding your pace down each line.

The six cables string across the landscape in sequence, each one longer than the last, all of it pitched at moderate to difficult. Two of them cross the Mendoza River itself, and that is where the view opens up: you are suspended above water with the mountains holding the whole scene. The total distance is 1,400 meters, and the height sits around 60 meters. Most people finish the course in under two hours, though the time shifts with group size.

At the end you walk back to the base restaurant, where you can sit, drink something, and let the adrenaline settle before the drive back to the city. The guide speaks English and Spanish, and the operator includes all equipment, insurance and the round-trip transfer. Children from age six can go. Anyone younger cannot.
