Hello dear friends, welcome to my profile! By inheritance of my parents and grandparents, at a very early age, I fell in love with this beautiful province. . . Mendoza! Visiting my grandparents' fields weekly, made me grow among vineyards and mountains, riding horses, climbing, and driving off road every weekend… which awakened in me, this huge passion for wine, the Andes mountains, and off roading. Without wanting to, all my friends, acquaintances and different people, came to me for advice on what to do and visit in Mendoza. . . and that was to capitalize on it. Time went by quickly and from a day to another I had finished my studies in marketing and then in business administration degree, and I was working for big companies, but I had completely moved away from my hobbies and passions; which made me very unhappy. Finally, one day I understood that my studies combined with my passions, were the perfect combination to create the work that I always dreamed. . . and here I am. . . I want to propose to you to discover Mendoza with me, from a way that will make you fall in love of it, just like it happened to me!! Come on, join me, and discover Mendoza! and of course, do not hesitate to ask me if you want a tour according to your measurements. *Mountain guide - EPGAMT - #969 *International Sommelier student - Wine Institute *Técnico Superior en Marketing.

Delight with a night full of stars in an Andean paradise
Overview of your Mendoza tour
Laguna del Diamante, called like that, because the diamond that is formed in it calmed waters, when the volcano Maipo is reflected in them. This is a unique place in the mendocina mountain chain, at 3000 meters altutude, fulfilled with events and histories as the french pilot Henri Guillaumet, companion and best friend of Antoine de Saint Exupery, who had to land in emergency at the edge of the frozen lagoon, making this fact tie him to this paradisiacal place, during his whole life. Preserved by the natural provincial reservation, Laguna del Diamante, is a magical place, almost virgin, filled with wildlife like hundreds of guanacos, foxes, wild geese and a huge number of birds. The colorful mountains, with their diverse formations, plus their beautiful vegas, will make a paradise for our senses. . . There are no enough words to describe the night. . . as sunset and sunrise. . . you must to live it to use your own words. . .
Your Mendoza tour itinerary
We will leave the Mendoza City at 6m (or if you are lodged at Valle de Uco, 7am) We will go to the high center of Mendoza province, to the heart of the Andes, to this wonderful natural mirror of water, formed in the old crater of a volcano, guarded for some millions of years by the volcano Maipo. All the way, once we leave the main route, we will be surprised with its beautiful views, all different and each one better than the previous one, until we reach the lagoon, where we will prepare our camp. An exquisite lunch will leave us ready to enjoy the day full of energy. Walking, taking pictures, or just sitting and contemplating nature are the perfect plans for the day. A sky of infinite stars and the quietest calm of the world will come accompanied by a glass of good wine and we will be ready for dinner. After a quiet night, the calm morning will have arrived and with it the water mirror that will look like an art gallery. Again there are no recipes to enjoy the day. After lunch, we're going back to the city
