¿Como hace uno para poder volcar con palabras un viaje que resulto ser único e inolvidable ? Nuestro destino seria el día sábado 27 de septiembre la provincia de Mendoza junto a Gustavo, Luis, Javier y Laia. Después de hacer algunas compras y preparar ciertas cosas para el viaje, llegaba el momento de emprender viaje tomando la autopista del oeste para luego hacer los 1049 Km. que separan Buenos Aires de la provincia de Mendoza a través de la ruta 7. Algunas paradas , muchas risas , música y anécdotas de viajes estaban presentes en nuestra ida , conociendo un poco [View Full Entry]

Hola Chica´s y Chico´s Another instalment that you have been eagerly awaiting from the Shanny & Stevie roadshow. After a fantastic time spent in Buenos Aires, we jumped on a full cama bus to Mendoza. Full Cama, means Full Bed. Big squashy chairs that recline totally and foot rest to match coming up to meet you. Bliss....the food is a bit hit and miss though, so suggest to anyone wanting to try these trips to bring your own snacks....more on that to follow later. Mendoza is a sleepy wee city situated about 30 kms away from the foothills of the Andes. [View Full Entry]

Mendoza, Argentina HELLO! A few days ago we booked a few tours to Lonely Planet´s must do´s while in Mendoza: a winery tour and Alta Montana. Judith (the German girl I met in Bariloche, Argentina) and I booked at Campo Base. Yesterday we went to a few wineries, a sweets shop, and an olive producer. Argentina is the fifth largest in wine production in the world. Famed for it´s Malbec. Besides wine, olives and honey are a large Mendoza export. We started out going to a mid-sized winery called Weinert wines. Bodega y Cavas de Weinert is located in Lujan de [View Full Entry]

Mendoza, Argentina Took AndesMar for the 17, which was actually 19 hour ride from the mountainous ski town Bariloche, Argentina to Mendoza. I met a German girl named Judith in Bariloche at Hostel 1004, she took AndesMar too... We arrived this morning and decided upon a hostel, Hostel Independencia which is nice but a little crowded and lacks some amentities... we are changing to Winka´s hostel tomorrow night (side note: which we tried to find, but then was told by a local that it closed, when actually it just moved...) Mendoza is beautiful and seems to be a "green" city with [View Full Entry]

Argentina was a bit of a disappointment for us at first, partly because we had not got our heads around South America yet and partly because we chose to stay in major cities rather than venture off the beaten track to the more tranquil villages, which we prefer. What we did see however were very nice, safe (in some cases) and clean cities. The Argentineans definitely know how to have a good feed, the food here was great and the portions massive. They are best known for there grass fed steaks and they are amazing and the biggest we have ever [View Full Entry]

But we will not start there....when you last tuned in, we would have been preparing for another look at the Iguazu Waterfalls from the Argentinian side. Before we got the opportunity to look at this magnificent spectacle, we had the small matter of negotiating our way across the border in Argentina. No great shakes admin wise, but you have to pay for a bus (R$3) in Foz do Iguacu with one bus company and then after it drops you at the border and high tails it off into the distance, you then have to pay for a second bus company to [View Full Entry]

Hello again. I hope we won’t be absent for so long at a time now. We left Mendoza on Labor Day and are now on the coast of Chile, but I don’t want to get ahead of myself. A couple of weeks ago we took three young men with us and went by bus to San Rafael. Near there we visited Valle Grande and Canon Atuel. We rented a car in the city of San Rafael, so I have now experienced driving in Argentina. I felt much safer driving there than in Mendoza. Still, I don’t think I’m cut out to [View Full Entry]

Dag 80. Siden vi ikke hadde sovnet for langt ut paa morgenkvisten (pga. en gjeng tyske ungdommer som festet hoylydt paa hostellet), sto vi ikke opp for kl. 10.30. I dag hadde Jane plan om aa ha picnic i parken, men forst maatte vi faa vasket en omgang med klaer, og kjope bussbilletter til Bariloche til imorgen. Vi kjopte billetter til en "cama" (som har seter som kan legges helt ned), siden turen skal ta 19 timer. Vi gikk tilbake til hostellet og pakket med oss en flaske rodvin, fra Carmine Granata som vi kjopte igaar, og et haandkle som vi [View Full Entry]
