Inca's Bridge (Puente del Inca in Spanish) is a small village a few kilometers away from Andes mountain range (Cordillera de Los Andes ) located in northwest of the Mendoza Province in Argentina. There is a natural arch also known as Puente del Inca formed by the river Las Cuevas (Rio Las Cuevas) carving the mountains and sits about 2,700 meters above the sea level on Mount Aconcagua (Cerro Aconcagua ) close to Chile.
This amazing natural landscape is 48 meters long, 28 meters wide and 8 meters thick, sits 27 meters above the river with stalactites in the tunnel. The legend of its formation makes Puente del Inca a nature conservation area and a spectacular tourist attraction for hot spring as well.
Puente del Inca is about 183 kilometers west of Mendoza via Route 7 and is the main passage to Aconcagua Provincial Park.

印加橋是一個小鄉村，也是一條由岩石構造跨越在河穴而形成的一個天然橋樑名稱，位於阿根廷西北部的門多薩省。它座落海拔2700公尺的安第斯山脈，接近智利。
這令人驚歎的自然地貌大約有48公尺長，28公尺寬及8公尺厚，離河面27公尺高，坑內有若干鐘乳石景觀。由於它過去傳奇的形成因素，現已成為自然保護區及一個突出的溫泉旅遊景點。
印加橋往多薩城經七號公路幹線約183公里，也是阿空加瓜省立公園入口必經之途。
