Topics: Lakes of Argentina Protected areas of Argentina
Laguna del Diamante is a lake located in the province of Mendoza, Argentina, in the San Carlos Department, some 198 km from Mendoza. It covers a surface area of about 14.1 km and is one of the largest freshwater resources in the Province. Nearby is Maipo volcano. The volcano and its reflection in the lake forms diamond-shape image, which gives the lake its name.
It is known for its stunning beauty. However, few get the chance to see it because it is passable only in February and only via an off-road vehicle.
The lake was described by Antoine de Saint-Exupery in his book Wind, Sand and Stars.
