You step out at the base as the valley opens: scrubby hills give way to the cordillera silhouette and the Mendoza River gleams like steel, daring you to move faster. The morning light catches the zipline towers—six cables that thread the slope and climb to heights above the valley—while the low roar of glacial water warns of the day’s second act.

You step out at the base as the valley opens: scrubby hills give way to the cordillera silhouette and the Mendoza River gleams like steel, daring you to move faster. The morning light catches the zipline towers—six cables that thread the slope and climb to heights above the valley—while the low roar of glacial water warns of the day’s second act.
The route combines a 1,400-m canopy circuit with a half-day rafting run on the Mendoza River. Canopy Adrenalina runs six lines (the Base Circuit is five lines, about 700 m) with platforms up to roughly 40–60 m above ground and a final zip of ~450 m crossing the river. The region sits on the eastern edge of the Andes’ Cordón del Plata; rivers here are glacier-fed and shaped by recent Andean uplift and seasonal melt. Potrerillos itself grew around the reservoir and dam that regulate flow and support Mendoza’s irrigation network.
Expect a paced, safety-focused day: harness and helmet briefings, short treks between platforms, then a bus transfer to the rafting put-in. Rafting sections are Class II–III+ in lower flows and can reach Class III–IV in high summer; navigation time on the river is roughly 45–60 minutes within a 2-hour activity window. The terrain alternates dry, rocky slopes and irrigated valley flats, and local guides emphasize low-impact practices.
Practical notes: bring layered clothing (glacial water is cold even in summer), sturdy shoes for walking between platforms, a swim or quick-dry layer, and sun protection. Be prepared for physical elements—balance on platforms, bursts of exertion paddling through rapids—and follow guide instructions closely for a safe, high-adrenaline day in Potrerillos.
The Adrenalina Circuit totals about 1,400 meters of zipline across six cables, with the Base Circuit at about 700 meters; the longest final runs cross the Mendoza River.
Rapids range from Class II–III+ in typical flows; during peak melt (summer) sections can approach Class III–IV—guides choose lines appropriate to group skill and water level.
No prior zipline or rafting experience is required, but a moderate fitness level and basic swimming comfort are recommended; guides provide full briefings and supervision.
Yes, transfers to and from hotels in downtown Mendoza are typically included with the tour.
