ABOUT THE LOCATION
Rodeo is still a small town surrounded by nature and its landscape will leave you speechless. The contrast between the desert mountains, with landscapes of los Alamos (Poplar trees) and the turquoise blue of the lake is spectacular. In Rodeo there are several people who have left everything to come to live in this place of peace and tranquillity.

HOW TO GET THERE

WHERE TO STAY
There’s abundant accommodation in the area. Hotels, hostels, and camping. Clandestino Cabanias are single or double bedroom rustic cabins a five-minute walk from Rodeo and also just five minutes from the windsurfing spot at Cuesta del Viento. The cabins are fully furnished and equipped with a kitchen, oven, refrigerator and cooking utensils, good quality beds with linen provided and a bathroom with a hot shower.

RIDING ON OFFER
Freestyle and Slalom are the most common disciplines, but when the wind is very strong, up to 40 knots, it can produce waves up to two meters. Before noon the water is like glass and not a fly flies, but in the afternoon the wind demon seems to rise and within a few minutes can sometimes reach 70 knots, making the calm water of before seem more like the wild ocean. When the spray hits your face it’s like thousands of needles pricking your skin.
