About Puente Colgante de Cacheuta
The Puente Colgante de Cacheuta crosses the valley of the Mendoza River, in a landscape of rocky slopes. Its towers, cables and walkway make the structure recognizable among the district's routes. The site is different from the thermal facilities in the region.
The stop allows you to observe the bridge and the river's course from the areas designated for circulation. The rocks, the riverbed and the low vegetation make up the immediate surroundings. The interest is in the suspended structure and its relationship with the valley, without needing to add a water activity to the visit.
Include Cacheuta in the mountain circuit, with time to arrive, make the stop and continue or return. Access to the walkway depends on local circulation rules; confirm before going. Do not schedule the time of a distant reservation together with a fixed-duration stop in the valley.
