Uspallata -or "7 Years in Tibet"

by Trekki - last update: Apr 2, 2005

Green valley of Uspallata
Uspallata is a tiny little town west of Mendoza, nicely settled in the fantastic Cordillera.
You pass by when travelling by bus from Argentina / Mendoza to Chile / Santiago, but it is worth a separate visit.

To my surprise (or not surprise later on), I have learned that the movie "7 years in Tibet" was done here.
But watching and experiencing the mountains, it is clear that there could not have been another region for it.

But still - it is Uspallata, with it's own character, restaurants, shops and atmosphere :-)

 We've just seen a mountain with the same name near Jujuy. Hope to see the same in Uspallata when we get to Mendoza
