They're pictures from Los Reyunos, in San Rafael, Mendoza.<br />
Los Reyunos is a dam on the Diamante river; the dam is used to generate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelectricity" title="Hydroelectricity">hydroelectricity</a>. This is done in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_station" title="Power station">power station</a> located below the level of the reservoir.<br />
Los Reyunos Fishing and Nautical Club, along with private summer residences and a hotel, lies on the western shore of the reservoir and serves as a base for activities in the lake (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsurf" title="Windsurf">windsurf</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canoeing" title="Canoeing">canoeing</a>) and in the surrounding mountains (such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiking" title="Hiking">hiking</a>). <br />
<br />
<br />
The landscape is unbelievably beautiful and it invites you to relax!<br />
