I will travel to Mendoza coming from Santiago, for New Year´s Eve, any suggestions? Posted: Fri November 6, 2009 01:50 AM UTC
I would like to know about 3 star hotels in Mendoza and also in Santiago, if possible. In Santiago, I would like to stay in Providencia neighborhood. In Mendoza, in a walking distance from everywhere in town. Besides, I need to know which are the best vineyeards and if a reservation is needed for lunch.
Also about companies that take tourists to vineyards.
Thanks in advance.

getting from Mendoza to Buenos Aries Posted: Sun September 27, 2009 11:23 PM UTC
We are going to take the bus to Buenos Aries from Mendoza. How long is the trip? When does it go? I have seen on the net to plan for 22 hrs. I am befudled by when to book the hotel in Mendoza. If I come in on Friday at 3pm and want to spend a day in Mendoza, when will the bus leave to take me to BA? Ideally if I came in at 3Pm on Friday, I would l leave Sat. night. at 10PM and arrive Sunday evening about 6PM. Does this sound right?

Bicycle and University Posted: Fri August 14, 2009 02:42 AM UTC
Hello!
I have two very unrelated questions:
1. Is it easy to buy a decent road bike in mendoza? Also, is it a bike friendly town at all?
2. Is it possible to take classes at any of the local universities? I don't really want to enroll full time, but I'd love to take a class or two.
Thanks!

Natural History or Wildlife Guides Near Mendoza Posted: Sat June 6, 2009 11:13 AM UTC
I am traveling to Mendoza in October and am interested in seeing the wildlife of the region -- birds, vegetation, reptiles, different habitats. Can anyone direct me to interpretive guides with some knowledge of wildlife, and who also speak English? Is there a local equivalent of the Audubon Society or Sierra Club where I can get information about unspoiled areas for hiking?
Any tips would be appreciated!
Thank you.

Mendoza to Andes tour ... and/ or Mendoza to Santiago de Chile bus Posted: Tue January 6, 2009 11:31 PM UTC
I have been looking around VT and some photos and would welcome any recommendations on the following two activities - please keep in mind I will be a woman traveling alone, so in each of these to I ask how safe it will be.
- Taking a day tour from Mendoza to the Andes (staying in Mendoza)
- Taking a bus from Mendoza to Santiago de Chile - is this doable in a day - about how long does it take? Will a one-night stay in Santiago give a quick look at the city?

Alta Montaña tour Posted: Mon November 17, 2008 06:56 PM UTC
Hi. I've been reading about tours in Mendoza. I'll only have a few days there, and I want to see as much as possible. It seems like the "Alta Montaña" tour is a popular one. Can anyone recommend this? How much do you get to see?
I'll be arriving from Santiago. Does anyone know where that bus stops? Once I get to Mendoza and head back out to see the sights, will the Alta Montaña tour cover things I've already seen?
I've heard good things about Villavicencio, Los caracoles (a highway?), and hiking near Aconcagua.
Any thoughts??

Staying and trekking in Mendoza Posted: Sat July 26, 2008 02:08 AM UTC
I'm looking to stay in Mendoza for 3-5 days, and since it's such a short time I want to shore things up in advance. I've been looking at two hostels: Winca's and Damajuana. Has anyone stayed at either of these places and can recommend them?
Also, there seem to be a thousand different tours you can go on in Mendoza. WIth only a few days, what should I prioritize? Wineries? Valle de la Luna? Aconcagua? Malargue? Should I try to take driving tours and see as much as I can, or pick one or two things and do some long treks?
Thanks!

Best 1-4 day hiking?? Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 01:20 AM UTC
Hi. I expect to spend about 7-10 days in Mendoza in January, and I'm looking for recommendations on the absolute best hikes/treks. Anything in the range of 1-4 days. I'm looking for the best views of the Andes and the most beautiful trails! It seems like many people do the approach to Aconcagua... is this really the best??
When my partner and I went to Bolivia we discovered the most incredible hike we'd ever done (Choro Trek), but we only heard about it word-of-mouth. So we're hoping to repeat that experience!
