Mendoza to Mt Aconcagua Park, Argentina

Day trip to Mt Aconcagua. Woke up early to have breakfast as the drive to the Parque Provincial Aconcagua is about 3 hrs. Left our accommodation around 9am+ and reached the visitor centre of the park around 1230pm. Entrance fee to the park and lookout point is 40 pesos each, and to hike to Confluencia base camp is 500 pesos each, which we opted. The walk to the base camp requires about 3.5 hours in and about 3 hours return. We did not make it to the camp as time was running short. The park supposed to close at 6pm. We left the park around 545pm, and on the return route, we stopped by Puerto del Inca for hamburger and photos of the ancient natural formed bridge. Thereafter, we make our way back to accommodation, arriving around 945pm.
