Most probably a combination of dehydration, altitude and wine, Andrea spent most of the night and following morning fighting a horrendous headache. Luckily, we had enough time to move our agenda back a bit to allow the morning for recovery. Without reservations we made a drive towards the town of Lolol on search of an olive oil mill. When once again our directions were turning out to be a little shaky, we weren't too bothered because the drive itself was worth i...

It was time to put our pallets to test and get down to wine tasting business. Wondering if we would be able to start drinking this early, we were greeted by Fernando at Lapostolle for our 10:30am appointment. Impressed by the entire operation, from the organic wines, views, symbolism, cellars and informative tour, we figured this would be one of our favorites.

Searching for the store that specializes in This...

We had a blast at Valle Nevado but figured we would make tracks at a different top rated mountain today. It was a scenic 2.5 hour drive to the Argentine border where Portillo is located. While at the same altitude as Valle Nevado, the mountains are completely different. Dramatic and steep, these slopes contrasted with the wide open rolling terrain from yesterday. Olympians from all over the world train in Portillo. We spent the day skiing around the lake Lugana ...
