Excursion: Parque Aconcaqua
For this excursion I recommend to sleep in Uspallata, even though you might have to
cook yourself, because then you don’t have to get up in the early morning but can catch the seven o’clock bus.
Hop off at the park, by advising the driver in advance, and walk to the Guardaparque, to pay the entrance. As you took the early bus there are not much more people there, so you can enjoy the park almost on your own.
When you have finished you can cross the street and walk along the old railway to the Puente del Inca. This is an impressive hike take your time for all of it, as you have to wait too long for the bus in Puente del Inca. Of course it is good to know the bus timetable beforhand. It passes by every four hours (sorry, I forgot the times).
I stayed at the Cerro de Cobre hostel, which is rather than a motel with shared dorms, that have private bathrooms. The breakfast consists of toasts and coffee or tea. You can also rent a bike because its 5km outside of Uspallata. But don’t worry the bus stop is more or less opposite the hostel.
