Can you quote the overland crossing from Chile to Mendoza and what would be the additional cost?

We have available the overland crossing from Chile to Mendoza via direct transfer. It is a beautiful way to cross the Andes Cordillera, traveling the famous Ruta de Caracoles and enjoying incredible landscapes, with views of Aconcagua and passing through places like Puente del Inca and Uspallata. For 2 passengers, the transfer cost is USD 1.150 per person, with Spanish-speaking driver, or USD 1.385 per person with English-speaking driver-guide. Keep in mind that waiting times at the border can vary depending on traffic. During this year there have been recurring closures of the pass due to climatic phenomena in the mountain. Since it is October, there is a possibility that these conditions affect circulation. For this reason, we recommend considering the option of flying for this date, as it offers greater predictability.

This was the first time I used to plan my trip this way - not inly via TourRadar, but also using an agent to arrange the whole trip, including accommodation etc. I rate overall experience with 5* as I have a wonderful trip, however there are a few things to improve, or for those who are considering this trip to keep in mind - 1.I did have a confirmation of my itinerary and hotels in advance, however I didn’t know the start times of the tours or times of pick ups earlier than the night before. This can cause a bit of stress. This also means you cant always count on hotel breakfasts as advertised in description of this tour. 2. The tour was very intense - with very early mornings, pick up times as early as 6am and even 5am. 3. I am 100% certain that i booked an English speaking tour, however in Peru all my groups/guides were Spanish speaking. It worked out ok for me as Im learning Spanish, but someone else could find it frustrating. The mentioned hick-ups aside, I had fantastic experience in both Peru and Bolivia, hotel choice was great, all logistics were smooth, the tours were visually captivating - from reaching up to 4,300 meter altitudes above sea level to exploring Machu Pichu (never expected train ride to be so much fun!), to spending a day navigating Lake Titicaca on a private (!!!) boat with an absolutely amazing guide Grace. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime.Show more

If you want to see the soul of Ecuador, this is the journey. Southern Ecuador Secrets" took us from the elegant charm of Cuenca into a world of breathtaking landscapes and warm, local encounters. The itinerary was a masterpiece of off-the-beaten-path discovery. The agency's prompt communication and proactive attitude were exceptional. They were always one step ahead, ensuring every transfer and unique activity was seamless.Show more

  The client and her partner have as travel purpose to visit a relative in Real del Padre in Mendoza (minimum 2/3 nights) and the crossing from Argentina to Chile via overland through the Cristo Redentor pass. They are not really interested in activities, basically logistics of airport/hotel/airport transfers, accommodation with breakfasts, Argentina-Chile transfer, one night in Buenos Aires and two in Santiago, eventually if you can include the domestic flight to get to Mendoza. Can you help with customized trips?
- Trip to South AmericaOperator•Written September 2026
  Yes, we work with personalized and tailor-made itineraries, so we can adapt the proposal with pleasure. We will work on the quote and will contact you again within the next 24 to 48 hours.

  The proposal looks excellent. Would the Buenos Aires to Mendoza transfer be via air? Easter next year, let's manage the 3 nights in Real del Padre, so they are in the place 2 complete days leaving on March 20
- Trip to South AmericaOperator•Written September 2026
  The flight would be from Buenos Aires directly to San Rafael, instead of Mendoza, to save time and transfer costs. We share the breakdown of the rate with and without the Buenos Aires – San Rafael flight, so you can compare both options. We included 3 nights in San Rafael, as you requested, so they can have 2 complete days to visit Real del Padre and spend time with their family. The transfers from San Rafael to Real del Padre for family visits are not included, although we can add them if you like. This quote is valid for 48 hours and is subject to changes depending on availability / values of flights and services.
