OF CHILE TO ARGENTINA this time We take a bus for a period of 10 hours during the day, for the simple reason we cross the Andes mountain range! And we have no regrets! It is facinating to see snow eternal bus! The scenery is breathtaking, arid mountains, rivers of ice, glaciers, it was worth it!
MENDOS
Arrived at Mendosa, again, our guesthouse is full and requires a newer search guesthouse, we find! Not very nice but the welcomes is extraordinary! And the advice that we give the guests stink more than anything ... vineyard restaurant for a steak, bistro atmosphere, a glass of wine in the highest tower in the city with views ...
VINEYARDS ... Under the precious advice of our guesthouse, we take a "tour" to visit the vineyards of the region. We start the morning by mini bus with a small group of 10 people, we visit three vineyards, a craft, and two manufacturers. After the third vineyard you start feeling a little ... For dinner, we were in another vineyard receives a dinner with unlimited wine and gargantueste ... we are drunk and stuffed like chickens! ... we drive ... The Mendoza region produces 70% of Argentine wine production! ... drink Malbec (bad mouth).
AH! THE STEAK! For The steak, I swear it really was! We recommend dinner at "El Patio de Jesus Maria" http://www.elpatiodejesusmaria.com/ and the consecration! I'm not vegetarian! Mendosa is relaxed, it feels good to live there! Walking in the streets, through the many parks, the city has been completely redesigned and rebuilt because of the earthquake that destroyed everything in 1861, actually not that new but it's good ...
L'A VISIT TO BUENOS AIRES! A bus night in first class brings us up Mendosa Buenos Aires. A bus benches or lie down completely and provided blanket and pillow! Lunch and dinner buffet with big steak and wine ... welcome to Argentina! There they joined my uncle Terry and Michael with great pleasure! They arrived two days before us and reserve an apartment with two rooms of luxury. We stay 12 days at our "BASE" and spend Christmas all four together! It is from the Hotel-Apart http://www.buenosairesbase.com/ us that we will visit Buenos Aires and of the surrounding area.

On the roof of an apartment in Buenos Aires ... Anyway eh! CITY OF TIGER ... A wonderful day in Tigre, north of Buenos Aires. Take bus 152, a series of one hour forty five minutes and a water taxi ... At this point, the Rio Parana Delta is composed of lots of little islands, a sort of Venice in Argentina. We will dine on one of them, in a restored Almand, the Alpenhaus http://www.alpenhaus.com.ar/ , not special for Argentina?
Colonia, Uruguay
URUGUAY ...
We will also, all four, spend a day in Uruguay, another country, visit the city of Colonia! To get there, once again, we take a boat for an hour and must pass Twann. We all fell in love with this little town. It is a point of land ahead, and the city was built over by the Portuguese in 1680. Have seen water on three side of the city and all homes have a floor. Trees in Bloom, the beacon for boats ... Not to mention our excellent food grilled fish drizzled with white wine from Uruguay!
Back in Buenos Aires, San Telmo
