The road to the Chilean border incorporates some of the most dramatic scenery in the region, the Andean mountains in this part being part of the backdrop of the highest peak out of the Andes, Aconcagua at almost  above sea level. There is a brief glimpse of the stunning mountain from the road some distance from another point of interest, an ochre coloured bridge spanning the Mendoza River  from Uspallata that seems to have been made from sulphur-bearing hot springs.
