Hotel : The Vines Resort & Spa - a day of hiking! Mendoza, Argentina

1.5 hour hike into the Andes with one of the gaucho's from the hotel and Neno (and his two gorgeous dogs). Neno is a local guy, who knows the mountains very well and was our guide for the morning. A great morning out! 

Stunning scenery and loved seeing the Condors. 

At the top! 

Neno with 'Perro' his gorgeous puppy! 

Admiring the views with Neno's other pooch!

Hotel : The Vines Resort & Spa (at sunrise), Mendoza, Argentina

Highly recommend getting up to catch the sun rise. Watch in awe as the Andes appear from the darkness and change through different shades of orange and pink. Stunning. You don't have to get up too early either, these photos were taken between approx 07.45 to 08.15 (in April).
