A natural stone arch spanning the Las Cuevas River in Mendoza Province, Puente del Inca is both a geological landmark and part of the Qhapaq Ñan Andean road system, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hot springs at the site share its name. The arch has shown some signs of deterioration but remains structurally stable. The surrounding Andean landscape places it close to high mountain terrain.
