Accommodation

Andes Lodge has two main houses, each of them has three double rooms suites, all different to one another.

All six suite rooms are tastefully furnished with traditional Argentinian artworks and local fabrics which are combined with a typical Argentinean style: colorful ponchos, fringe throws, leather handcraft ornaments, spurs and riding crops give a personal seal to this friendly place. This is just what you need after a day spent outdoors: a cozy and harmonious atmosphere, with spectacular views to the mountains and river.

Cuisine

The cuisine you will get to experience at Andes Lodge will be the best you've tried in Argentina so far, we can ensure that.

We personally select the different meat cuts for the ASADO, while getting sure they are tender and savory. Fresh salads, local sides and excellent wines from the Mendoza region will be the perfect match. 

Also, we'll honor you with homestyle meals, old family recipes and delicious local dishes. This is the perfect opportunity for you to fall in love with Argentinian culinary culture.
