Hi guys, I'll tell you something, Aconcagua is not only the highest mountain in America, but also in Europe, Africa, Oceania and Antarctica.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We read that it’s the biggest outside of Asia, no wonder it takes so many days to summit 😅

The views on the trans andean highway is just breathtaking! I’ve never heard of that Inca bridge, it’s so cool! Your mic did so well in the wind 😅 How annoying is the process of buying tickets to get into the park, and all the checkpoints 🤦🏻‍♀️ I suppose it’s all part of being a traveler 🙈😅 Seems like it paid off…those mountains are just incredible!! Love your drone shots 🤩 I’d love to drive that route. Your shot at the end, of the road snaking down is so cool!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It’s a beautiful road, one of the most breathtaking but unfortunately very frustrating to drive along too, so much time wasting for no reason at all other than crazy politics 😒

[@AlbertAlereon]

Thanks for sharing this video! I know you're not in Argentina anymore but it was great to see you enjoy so many places I miss now that I'm living abroad. Living vicariously through you 😁 Best of luck to you both!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you, we still have a couple more places to share in Argentina 🇦🇷

[@dianabelcher39]

Thanks for sharing this very nice vídeo showing some more of my country......

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We’re glad you like it, thank you for watching! ☺️

[@TheAverageTourist]

That park looked so beautiful. Very interesting landscape and scenery there. That was such an odd way of getting your tickets... so inefficient and unnecessary! What a pain, but thanks for sharing the real experiences. The market area seemed like a nice spot - but the roads certainly are bumpy!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It's definitely a quirk of travelling in this part of the world, things are often convoluted especially where entry tickets are involved.

[@juliocesarrodriguez4919]

Wowww...great place...wanna go right nowww. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It’s an incredible drive!

[@axelpap4613]

Another great episode good job guys, greetings

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you 😊

[@stephenwarren9762]

Very cool, nice scenery and views across those mountains. Stunning weather

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It was a beautiful sunny day!

[@Explorcation]

The scenery here is incredible to see 😍 although the process to access/pay for the park is quite odd. This tip will be very helpful to those visiting in the future. Wow it was windy, I am impressed your gear was able to pick up your voices so well! Great adventure you two ❤️

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It’s a strange way of doing things but we’re actually finding more places out in nature in SA that work in a similar way, we still get caught out too, after driving for hours to see a place it’s a shock to be told you can’t buy tickets to see it. We were so glad the footage came out ok, we didn’t think it would be useable with so much wind, thankful for our little dead cat!

[@Explorcation]

@@TideKnotTravellers wait...your rode mic is called dead cat?!?! I just googled it 😆i would say it worked very well 😁

[@lindae5937]

Wow looks like you saw some quite spectacular & dramatic scenery. Pity booking & Payment is such a polava! They must loose a huge amount of business with that system in place!?! Great you had time & got to see so much anyway!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It’s definitely a quirk but the drive and hike were beautiful!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Wow, this looks like a gorgeous drive despite the lengthy check points. So why exactly is it so intense on the Chilean border? Glad you got at least one beautiful hike in. Did you ever make it back to the park with the complicated payment system?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

There’s a lot of political issues between the two countries so these roads become a little less free to drive around, this isn’t the first time we’ve been unable to visit a sight due to border issues (despite not actually trying to cross a border😅) we got straight into the park for the hike it was just strange that we then had to make payment the next day back in the city rather than just buy tickets there at the gate.

[@jgonz260]

@@TideKnotTravellers Yes, there are always ongoing issues, mostly political between Chile and Argentina,

Que bella es Mendoza! Que ganas de volver! Conocieron el cañon del Atuel?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

La región de Mendoza es tan hermosa. No vimos el cañón del Atuel, ¿está cerca?

[@bosteroxeneize9906]

@@TideKnotTravellers yes close to San Rafel, also in Mendoza both.

[@DavidandSarah]

Wow the views are so rugged! The building under the natural bridge looked like it was almost carved out of the rock - Amazing. Loved the drone shot pushing through the mountains.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It’s the most rugged drive I think we’ve done so far, it was beautiful! Thank you 😊

[@jucovico347]

Te explico en español : Desde aquí , se tiene acceso al Aconcagua ,y tienen que tener una lista de todo el que accede , ya que el mejor sendero para escalar la montaña es por este lugar, por si no vuelve a salir y hay que declararl la emergencia .

[@TideKnotTravellers]

el registro tiene sentido, pero lo que nos confundió fue que el pago tuvo que realizarse en la ciudad en lugar de poder pagar solo al ingresar.

[@jucovico347]

@@TideKnotTravellers Tal vez por si alguien , no va preparado para el pago,o no aceptar algunas . A mi en Londres haciendo escala , no me aceptaron €uros, ni Dollares para tomar un café . Un saludo . Muy buen trabajo el vuestro . Gracias .

[@TravelInteresante]

Even though it feels touristy, the sceneries are spectacular and breathtaking so seems like worth to visit! Interesting that you can reserve the tix online and pay in person later, it must be tough for those who don't have access to data usage. The checkpoints and mountain views reminded me of Sinai peninsula in Egypt!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It's so worth driving, but yes the payment set up for these places out in nature are very quirky and have caught us out a few times.

[@martinmercado7577]

Me alegro que disfruten el pais chicos ..No se olviden , 1€=280$arg....por que vi que les cobraron demasiado caro en varios lados , una pena que no cuiden al turista extrangero.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

¡Gracias, nos encantó explorar Argentina!

Mensaje solo para los mendocinos... Por favor cierren Puente del Inca. Es una vergüenza

[@bosteroxeneize9906]

que va a ser una verguenza? es lindo la cuestion que no te dejan ir hasta el puente y queda lejos. deberian hacer un acceso, poner una tirolesa o algo para hacer, ja.
