San Juan Hostels - Reviews and Rates

From Montevideo in Uruguay we caught an overnight bus to Cordoba. The buses here are palatial, if you get a ´cama´or ¨bed´ bus. Think virtually Business Class on an airline, plush seats which recline almost fully, hot meals, movies, glasses of red wine. And you save a nights accommodation! Cordoba was a pleasant stopover for a day or so, with so...

Another spot of wine tasting and a visit to Parque Provincial Ischigualsto to see some odd rocks and old bones.

Abans d'ahir vaig començar a correr una mica, perque aquesta vida de menjar i descansar no pot ser. No vaig estar molta estona perque feia temps que no feia res. Ahir vaig tornar-hi, al mati, i ja a tope. El resultat va ser acabar mort i amb agulletes ja a la tarde. I quan anavem a sortir un moment al centre, que esta a uns 8km, va trucar una am...

Letztes Wochenende verschlug es uns nach San Juan, einer Provinz im Westen von Cordoba. Nach einer kurzen Nacht im Bus kamen wir am Samstag morgen ziemlich verschlafen in San Juan Capital an. Die Stadt machte gleich einen sehr sympatischen Eindruck. Sehr ruhig, mit vielen Baeumen und Parks. Als wir am Nachmittag wieder loszogen um ein bisschen S...

Day 73: October 26, 2007 Teaching in San Juan I got up at 7:00 and had breakfast, letting Elena sleep in. I took a cab out to the university and told Mirta that I needed a computer to print out the exam and lab exercise. By now, I knew this would send her into a tizzy, which it did until she realized she had to be elsewhere so I could use her co...

We went to San Juan specifically to see the Lunar Valley . 300 kilometers away from San Juan Capital City, is the "Parque Nacional Ischigualasto" (Ischigualasto National Park) also known as the "Valle de la Luna" (Valley of the Moon). It is a clay formation with a great variety of colors and shapes, slopes with many layers of minerals and sedime...

We spent one night in Santiago...on-route to Los Penitentes...yes we jumped from Argentina into Chile and back out just as quick! Going through Santiago was the easiest way to get to Los Penitentes. So we'l be doing Chile proper later on! Spent a week in Los Penitentes, in the Andes mountains, 5 days of sun, snow and snowboarding!! What more cou...

So we arrived into Mendoza at what we thought was 9pm (actually 10pm) and had no accomodation booked as we, ahem, forgot (again!) about the bank holiday weekend. But the lovely people in tourism reservations got us the beds in the last hostel in town that had spaces. Phew. While I was booking this, Vinnie was trying to get our bags off the bus, ...

Last night the girls took a tour of the house ofone of the most famous people in history, Sarmiento. Since I went last year and was in bad need of a nap, I decided to skip it. I was supposed to meet the group at 6:30 but they didn´t show up until 8pm. I spent the time walking and then acting as ´guest teacher´ in one of the school´s English clas...
