Mendoza Hostels - Reviews and Rates

The overnight bus from Buenos Aires to Mendoza was pretty decent. Chevalier primera classe was definitely the way to go! Tara and I got to know our steward, Matias, particularly well and he stayed and visited with us through much of the night. We also got to know the guy sitting beside us, Walter, who spoke a little bit of English and had lived ...

Over the past two weeks, as we have been discovering Mendoza, we have also been indulging the Argentine food. There is not a lot of seafood, as Mendoza is somewhat landlocked. Instead they barbecue, and they do it well! The ¨parrilla¨ is like a dream come true. Over a low-heat, smoldering grill the meats are cooked to a perfection we had not kn...

The nice feeling I was speaking about you get from some cities... Well Mendoza has it!!! It was a perfect little place!!! In fact I think it almost has it all, lots of nice places to eat, green spaces in the city and even more outside! I was begining to get a bit down that I was not exercising enough! Well I got my exercise here in Mendoza, biki...

After a rather spectacular journey from Santiago, Chile to Mendoza, Argentina that passed through the Andes. The Chilian side of the border was unbelievable winding up and through the snow capped mountains and passing Portillo ski resort where both the runs and lifts pass over the road!! The Argentinian side wasn´t quite as good as you wind down...

Mendoza is Argentina´s wine capital and I managed to bump into just about everyone I had met in my trip so far in this relatively small city, which may say something about the kind of company I have been keeping along the way! Malbec grows so well in medoza because the days are (almost without exception) hot and sunny and cool water drains strai...

I WILL ADD PHOTOS AFTER MY NEXT CHALLENGE. SORRY. What an experience! I had not been looking forward to the challenge as I was in the swing of the "mochilero" life (back packing) so the idea of going on an organised tour with a load of other Brits was a bit strange. Also as I´d personally grown so much out here whilst only speaking Castillano th...

Ja, der kom den. Saa greit det hadde vaert aa vaere hjemme.... Der hadde vi visst hva vi skulle gjore neste dag (f.eks. gaa paa jobb), vi hadde visst vi hadde en seng aa sove i (som ikke var altfor dyr), og vi hadde visst det var en buss (eller bil) som gikk dit vi ville den skulle. Dette er pr i dag aa regne for luksus, og vi kan ikke si vi har...

Our second day in Mendoza, much like the first, was spent generally meandering. There are activities and excursions, most involving the nearby mountains, but we both feel like winding down in South America now and biding our time until flying to Auckland. We took a bus to the mall, which was all very posh. Again there was an air of wealth about ...

One thing I will not forget about this travelling experience is the amount of discrimination I have received due to being a vegetarian! This so far seemed to only occur in south America. I feel after about 1000 comments of 'well you're in the wrong place', `you`re missing out´, `how can you not eat meat and why do you not eat meat?`, I`m probabl...

The last few days have been superb. We have kept ourselves entertained in Mendoza, with a plethora of exciting activities. We did a full day of mountain biking, which was fantastic. Ali and I suffered from the heat, and nearing the end we spoke to one of the park rangers, who told us it was 41 degrees! That at least explained the dehydration and...
