Watching the night sky in Uspallata
Joined 2024
Uspallata is the last mountain village in Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes, almost 2,000 metres above sea level. A divine valley surrounded by majestic mountains. We will pick you up from your accommodation before sunset and drive to the mountain. The drive is breathtaking and exotic. We visit the Mirador de la Ventana, a place with a 360° panoramic view and little light pollution. The ideal place to contemplate the sky. There we share a picnic, wine from the family winery and a campfire.

Reni and I are drivers and guides of the experience. We are available to tailor the experience according to the availability and preferences of each traveller, both the destinations and the duration of the experience. In this case we also adjust the budget of the experience.
For each experience we use our family vehicle, as it makes the cultural immersion more genuine. In case you would prefer us to rent a vehicle, we are at your disposal to do so. We work with a Toyota car rental service. We organise this at no extra cost for 3 or more travellers. If you contact us in time we can modify the number of participants of the experience, in case there are more than 5 travellers. There is the possibility of renting a vehicle to transport up to 9 travellers. If there are more than 9 passengers, we can rent two vehicles. In this case Reni drives one vehicle and I drive the other.
The experience is scheduled to start in the morning. If you prefer to change the starting time, we are at your disposal.
We take care of the menu. We enjoy local cuisine and make regional flavours part of the experience. We are experts in healthy, TACC-free, vegetarian, vegan and omnivorous food.

Aprende del mate con locales. Picnic en el Parque General San Martín
El mate es una infusión que invita a compartir. Es un medio que te permite hacer contacto con la cultura argentina, su gente, su ritmo y su forma de vivir. Siempre que hay mate, hay charlas, algo para comer y disfrutar, relajarse y bajarse del ritmo productivo. La mejor excusa para desconectar de las redes sociales y el trabajo. Un motivo para darle lugar a la conexión con la naturaleza y con otros seres humanos.
