Mendoza Hotels - Reviews and Rates

The wine tour in Mendoza was brilliant. It was the smallest vineyard we saw that had the most modern machinery (important from France, of course), and in my opinion had the best tasting wines (although at that point, all the wines were beginning to taste the same). The trip was finished with a traditional Argentine meal which included, four cour...

Finally we reached Mendoza after the eigth overnight bus journey of our travels, checked into the apartment we had hired and waited for Pete to arrive. And waited. And waited. Finally after several delays he pulled up in a taxi to the sight of us sitting outside the apartments drinking some local wine. Well we had to start without him! The next ...

After returning from Easter Island (unfortunately, even 10 months ago, the flights onwards to Tahiti and New Zealand were booked up), we had a quick stop in Santiago before heading to Mendoza in Argentina. Mendoza is the wine capital of the country, producing around 70% of Argentina's output. After two months of rushing around, we used the stop ...

Fair warning: This entry is really boring if yorue not into spanish, skip down about half of it to hear how the week went... Alright so this has kind of turned into a running blog where I add interesting biFaits of news everyday instead of spending hours writing a single entry and I end up forgetting everything, for that its likely these will ge...

After leaving Chile waxed, with camera cable, and permitted to stay in this continent until August, I headed across the border into Argentina....by quite possibly the prettiest border crossing ever! I had actually fallen asleep on the bus and woke up because the bus was winding about a lot - I woke up to the scenery in the attached pictures...ho...

I've got a lot of writing to do and you all have a lot of reading to do. I need to catch you up on the happenings in Mendoza (which I have, sadly, already departed from). Then I have to tell you of my adventures since returning to the big and bountiful Buenos Aires. So let us begin. And all of this must be done withing the next 48 hours because ...

We are just now leaving Mendoza and it has been quite an experience to say the least. We got here Saturday after a 16 hour bus ride which was an adventure in itself. We all got a chance to play Bingo on the bus for a chance to win official Andesmar (our bus company) merchandise. My friend won a bottle of the bus company´s own wine. Mendoza has b...

After spending 15 hours in a bus I was hoping Mendoza would be worth it. I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed my few days here. Staying in the Campo Base I Hostel. First day I did a trip of the Bodegas and did the Irish proud by holding it together while other around me got a bit sloppy and messy after a few glasses of the vino tinto. Th...

Today we spent the day hanging around our private pool reading and preparing for the cooking class that we had signed up for at the resort next door. When we arrived, we were met by the chef at the outdoor grill and there was already a very large piece of meat grilling slowly over coals. The chef showed us how to make empanadas, which are basica...

After our superb weeks boarding in Las Leñas we took a bus up to Mendoza in the heart of Argentinia's wine making country. Mendoza is a very relaxing town and thats exactly what we did - relaxed for a few days having lunches in the sunshine and partying by night. 'Facundo' restaurant on Sarmientas near the main plaza was so good we went there tw...
