Chile 1124 Mendoza, Province of Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina, 261-441-1234

Attended the NSF-sponsored PASI workshop (http://www.ciara.fiu.edu/pasi/index.ph p) in Mendoza. I stayed at the Park Hyatt Mendoza for the duration of the workshop (5/15 to 5/21), but moved around the block for the remaining couple of nights. Highlights from the trip were: - "La Pizza", where we ate many meals - "Bonafide", the coffee shop where I went most mornings and afternoons - The excursion to Aconcagua - The excursion to the canyons (need to look up the name) - ...

Mendoza, Argentina jasonkumarSo whilst the Argentine contingent of the family were shivering in Devon, we were soaking up the sun in Mendoza. We arrived to find that Christmas would be spent in a dorm room for 13 in a hostel so we decided to give ourselves a break and a christmas present and upgrade! We checked into the Park Hyatt hotel on the main square which came with a pool, spa and air conditioning! After the last few days of bush camping it was great luxury. On Christmas Day we joined the group for brunch and secre...
Mendoza, Argentina markandrebeccaCanīt really remember much of what happened this morning. Probably something to do with a hangover. We checked out of our hotel around noon, made a few phone calls to friends and family back home and checked into our new hotel. The hotel weīre staying in is the Park Hyatt Mendoza a 5 star havan of pure luxury and for 2 nights we decided to live it up. A sort of Christmas present and end of trip treat for ourselves. Our room is gorgeous, the bathroom even better with marble floor, glass sink, ...
Mendoza, Argentina steveodOur last day at the hotel. After giving my bed a big hug and stealing a few miniature bottles of shampoo and shower gel. (didn't have room for the bathrobe) we headed down to the bus station. We had found out the night before that our mate Shane had just got engaged and we tried to find a phone for around half an hour to ring and congratulate him but had no luck so were the last the get on the bus. The bus journey was pleasant enough going through the pass in the Andes where the scenary was a...

La gente de Mendoza muy hospitalaría , un ambiente definitivamente de Ciudad en medio de un ambiente rural.
Como dije esta visita solo fue ...
... way through the tour the guys broke there blikes and i ended up chipping my tooth which i freaked out about. Anyway we had to wait for an hour for two kids to bring us new bikes and take the old ones it was organised madness. We ended the day with a nice dinner and a few beers.
Mendoza, Argentina quigsnclinty... the meter read 30,000 Chilean pesos, which was of course ridiculous. But having arrived in a new city in the dark after a tedious bus journey and not used to the new currency, we each handed over 10,000 pesos. Our 'friend' counted the money before handing it over to the taxi driver, then said we had only paid 10,000 in total, and thus 20,000 short. This was the start of a rather nasty twenty minute confrontation, where we refused to hand over more money and eventually we ...
Mendoza, Argentina alamou... i donīt know i wasnīt paying attentionĻ...So for most of the trip to the vineyards i napped while lea ignored the chatty tourguide. didnīt matter, really. itīs easy to figure out vineyards. we visited two vineyards and a monument to San Martin. Iīd tell you the history of san martin, but, as i stated before, my translator was a bit below par in her attention level. The first vineyard was french owned; very beautiful set up but not that ...
Mendoza, Argentina lchan917... whether there was a road winding its way up and over this enormous mountain range or if there were tunnels which cut clean through to the other side. We soon found out that it was a combination of both the as the road snaked higher and higher via a set of countless tight hairpin bends. Sitting next to the window gave me a perfect and scary view of the switchbacks below as we climbed up to Paso Libertadores where the boarder was between Chile and Argentina. The views ...
Mendoza, Argentina vine_hooligans... br>
We had some good beer already, plus some olive paste from the vineyard tour, so we bought some fresh bread, ham & cheese, crisps, and some tomatoes.
The walk to the park was a fair old way, but it was a lovely day so it was no problem.
We walked up the main bar/hostel street, where I saw a bar which the local ...
