Mendoza Inns - Reviews and Rates

So I woke up this morning around 11 (cause of the long night) and we (Cyrille, Victoria, myself) decided to try out our pancake flipping skills. The dough was a bit watery (I blame the English and the Frenchy, never blame the american). Of course Cyrille was best cause he´s used to flipping crepes, but I felt I did pretty good. About 16 pancakes...

Wah woo! I think that someone would have to invent a whole new thesauraus devoted to superlatives for me to accurately describe the bus journey from Santiago to Mendoza. The route cut through the Andes, beginning with rugged, faded terracotta coloured cliff faces and moving steadily into snow covered wonderland. As we snaked our way slowly up th...

Well we arrived safe and sound in mendoza after the 14hour bus journey. We travelled first class and were served 3 meals wine and champagne included in the fare travellin approx 1000km for 20euro. Unfortunately for everything good that happens something bad also has to happen. Before getting the bus in Buenos Aires Sarah daypack was broken into ...

So after traveling independently for the past few months starting with a huge tour group was going to be a change. After a very long night in Santiago and then walking around the city for the day, I finally met up with my group. The newbies as they called us consisted of 7 girls (including me) and 1 guy. And to make it worse he was the only sing...

Sunday 24th February 2008 After out last big bus ride in South America on which we got to play bingo and watch The Devil Wears Prada, we arrived in the wine capital of Argentina excited about our next few days. I had managed to upset a couple of gringos before we got on the bus as I filled up our water bottle from a tap in the garden. As I went ...

Argentina is a very nice country. Oh yes it is. A major reason for me saying this, is that I spent very little money there this weekend, and I did a lot of fun things! Why? Because Argentina´s economy is not as good as Chile´s. However, Chile is still a lot less expensive than the US...and even less compared to Europe. We´ve decided that we are ...

¡Hola Chicos! Mendoza, stad van wijn. Voordat wij aan de wijn konden beginnen moesten we in Mendoza eerst op zoek naar accomodatie. Mendoza is nogal erg touristisch wat inhield dat het weer eens moeilijk was om accomodatie te vinden. In Argentinie is het nog steeds hoogseizoen. Volgens ons eindigt de vakantie hier nooit. Bij hostel nummer 1 werd...

¡Hola Chicos! Thank you to everyone who keeps reminding me that I only have a few weeks left of my travels! Not! After a 20 hour bus ride from Bariloche I have to say that I was cream crackered inspite of the comfie leather cama seat. Had a mild panic attack when my MP3 player froze midway as I was thinking, what am I going to do for the next 10...

After my recent journey into Chile, I thought I should make a few comments on my impressions of the country and the contrasts with Argentina. This is often comes up in conversations with other travelers in Patagonia. And I'd say that people mostly think that Chile sucks! The scenery is great, in fact just as good or better (just slightly differe...
