Puente sobre el Río Picheuta, Colonial stone bridge near Uspallata, Argentina.
The stone bridge spans across Picheuta River, constructed with traditional colonial masonry techniques using rocks and mortar at an elevation of 2000 meters.
Commissioned by Ambrosio O'Higgins during colonial times, this bridge served as a crucial route between Chile and the Viceroyalty of Rio de La Plata.
The bridge structure represents colonial engineering methods and stands as a testament to early transportation infrastructure in the Mendoza region.
Located 21 kilometers from Uspallata along National Route 7, the bridge remains accessible for visitors interested in historical architecture.
