What makes this experience unique is the perfect combination of nature, culture and gastronomy. Trekking on 100% natural roads, without human alterations, takes you through hills and mountains surrounded by a rich local fauna. As you enter this wild environment, you can disconnect from the world and live an authentic experience that connects you to the earth.
But what really makes this activity unforgettable is how we fuse natural beauty with our tradition. Upon returning, a delicious Argentine roast awaits, a feast of flavors including roasted vegetables, fresh vegetables and the best Mendoza wine. All this, accompanied by the warmth of our culture, will allow you to enjoy not only the scenery, but also the best food in a relaxed and authentic atmosphere, with spectacular mountain views.

Our family will welcome you with local snacks before starting a 3-hour hike along nature trails between hills and streams, with the possibility of spotting guanacos, condors, foxes and other species.

5.00Excellent mountain experience! Everything! From when they searched for us, until we came back! The scenery was extraordinary, we loved it! Ezekiel and Cecilia made us feel like part of their family! The food was the best roast we ate on our walk through Mendoza!! Thank you so much, I'd come back a thousand times! Do not miss this walk if you want to live the mountain and culture of Mendoza!
Excellent Activity!

5.00To vary a little from the panoramas of Mendoza, we found this activity very good. Trekking and roasting. The trekking is easy, approximately three hours, which takes you to travel through a section of the Mendoza Precordillera until you reach a viewpoint that presents us with a large plain to the east. Upon return, a well-deserved roast and snacks the menodocin way. Very nice. Optional to trekking, it can be done on horseback.
An experience to enjoy breathtaking landscapes in a warm and friendly environment

5.00The experience with Ceci and Eze was truly unforgettable. They welcomed us with great kindness from the beginning, we shared talks, advice, anecdotes, laughter and, after a while, we already felt among friends. The trekking is very comfortable to do, we also made stops to rest whenever necessary. Upon reaching the top, the view is breathtaking and makes every step worthwhile. Don't miss it! Thank you so much to the guys for welcoming us so warmly and making us feel at home.
I recommend 100%

5.00The Roast and Hike was the best combination of everything perfect! This is a family run business, but more than a business! They invited us to share in their lives! Our day started with Ezequiel picking us up from our hotel and driving to their family ranch. We then met Stella and Cecelia. Stella made us feel right at home with the kids, dogs, horses, turkeys, and chickens. She talked to us about their life on and off the ranch. Next we met Stella's younger sister, Cecilia. Cecilia was our trek guide along with her husband, Ezequiel. The hike had the perfect combination of easy and difficult, assent and descent. The views at the summit were spectacular! Hiking back to the ranch, we passed the horse back riders as they traveled on the same trail we had completed. When we returned to the ranch, we were greeted with endless pitchers of wine, plates of roasted vegetables, salad, bread, homemade salsa, and overflowing platters of beef and pork. Stella shared family stories while Ezequiel and Cecelia created our dinner. Everything was served family style. We were treated like family and definitely left as friends. If you want an experience that you will remember for a lifetime, this is it! I recommend this tour 1000%! There is not one thing they could have done better. It was perfect and memorable exactly as it was! Cecilia, Stella , and Ezequiel will always have a place in my heart. Thank you to our new friends!
A wonderful day

5.00The walk in the mountains was very nice, but what impressed us most was spending quality time with Ezequiel and Cecilia, dining with them as family, with delicious food prepared by the warm and friendly Estela, chatting as if among friends, feeling like family. Without ever feeling in a hurry, but with all the time available. And we would have stayed hours and hours more. Thank you for the passion you put into your work and that you transmit! Amazing experience!

5.00This was the best excursion we did in Argentina. The walk was very nice, in the pre-range of the Andes, but what we really loved is the human side. Cecilia, Estela and Ezekiel made us feel like family. We never had the feeling of rush, we took advantage of everything at our own pace. The talk was interesting and friendly and all the food sublime, homemade and genuine. We would have stayed longer and longer! Thank you for doing your job with such passion and for conveying your passion.

5.00Hiking in the foothills of the Andes was a breathtakingly beautiful experience, with the majestic mountains and their energy enveloping you. Ezequiel and Cecilia shared their passion, knowledge and deep respect for the mountains and their surroundings. Following the hike, we enjoyed a complete asado, skillfully prepared by Ezequiel and his family, accompanied by Malbec! I am grateful to the family for sharing their culture with us and doing it with love in their hearts. Thank you!
Great experience

5.00This was a fantastic experience and very good value. A visit to a family ranch, 2 hours easy walk with Ezequiel followed by experience of seeing Asador cooking and the best meal I’ve had in Argentina
