Posada Don Lisandro

Top choice in Mendoza & the Central Andes


Mauro Olivera, an experienced land-sailer and climbing guide, runs this tiny posada (inn), housed in a building that's over 100 years old and has its original cane-and-mud ceilings, and a few sticks of antique furniture. The bed in the cozy room without a bathroom is especially comfortable. There’s a well-stocked kitchen for guest use and a small bar for lounging.

Mauro is a land sailing instructor and guide for climbing trips to nearby Andean peaks.
