Rancho Lamaral

Mendoza & the Central Andes


You'll find this peaceful, laid-back refuge down a sandy road, around 500m from the shore of the Dique Cuesta del Viento. Rooms in the adobe house are simple and cozy and the small, charming courtyard, if unkempt, is a great place to hang out along with the many dogs on hand. Windsurfing and kitesurfing courses and rental equipment offered.

Some rooms have private toilets but showers are communal. A very basic breakfast is provided and guests can access the kitchen. To get to the reservoir, you can follow the dusty road or hop over a few low walls and hoof it through a couple fields with grazing cattle and horses for a more scenic route.
