I was born in Cordoba, where since ten years ago I was able to venture into mountaineering. My first steps were in Cordoba's sierras, and from there I went to know the high mountains. Five years ago, I make my dreams come true: I came to Mendoza to became a professional mountain guide to be able to live from what I love. In the past years I get a lot of experience in high mountain, what I like most. For me the mountains are a way of living. I am also working -two years now- in a foundation dedicated to training in outdoors pre-hospital emergencies. I really enjoy to share our culture, specially Argentinean cuisine, I really care about the meals in the tours, and they have to be homemade meals, they are much better ! Come to Mendoza, join me, discover the Andes and share this passion, the mountains. - Passionate Mountaineer - Professional mountain guide - Wilderness advanced emergency medical technician (AEMT) - Passionated rock climber - In my car can fit up to 4 people comfortably. Please inquire for larger groups. - Please note that some times i can be at the Mountains, that may delay the reply message

I would like to invite you to this beautiful activity that combines the best of Mendoza's mountain life, recreational hiking, and the traditional Argentinean food par excellence: the asado gaucho (barbecue). You will experience a full day regional tour. The activity will begin in the Front Mountain Range -at 2, 400 meters above sea level- with a low-difficulty 3-hour hike. During the tour we will get to know the typical way of life of the locals, with their livestock and their pace of life, so different from that of the city. We will also see local wildlife: condors, guanacos and foxes. And as we reach higher altitudes, we will be amazed by the great views of Potrerillos, its dam and the pre-mountain range. This is one of my favorite places, because my good friend Daniel lives there, he is a Gaucho, and we can have lunch with him, making this a unique experience.
This is an amazing tour! The hiking is lovely with fabulous views and the asado lunch is an unforgettably unique experience. We enjoyed everything about our day: excellent guide, great scenery and delicious food. You won't need a big dinner that night!!
Joaquin was a pleasure to work with and coordinated a fantastic day. The trekking was a unique experience with beautiful scenery and stunning views. The BBQ at the end was delicious!
Joaquin provided an unforgettable trip into the mountains. His knowledge of the area and wildlife are terrific. The barbecue really is in the middle of the mountains surrounded by nature. His gaucho collegue Daniel who lit the fire, was collecting the wood for the fire when we arrived, so it was a truly genuine outdoor experience. On the trek itself we encountered numerous condors at very close quarters, these huge birds are worth doing the trek for. Do yourself a favour and book Joaquin for your trip.
