After a short but extremely bumpy plane ride over the Andes, we arrived in the beautiful tree lined Argentine city of Mendoza (home to 70% of Argentina’s wine producers)!!!
Hardly any time had passed when we checked into the greatest little hostel anywhere in the world, before we were out enjoying the amazing food and nightlife that this vibrant little city has to offer. With hardly any sleep and a bad hangover we were picked up early the next morning for a full day of white-water rafting, and it was amazing. For starters, we were the only four people going rafting that day, so we had the river to ourselves. Secondly, the packed lunch that was included was immense, with every food and drink you could have dreamed of, including wine! By the end of the adventure downstream, we had all managed to fall out (except for Abi) and laughed all the way home, well for the 5 mins we weren’t all asleep!
On another day we also hired bicycles and rode around between the different wineries! I’m not convinced this is the safest activity, considering there are no bike lanes, a lot of traffic and every tourist is extremely drunk, but it is loads of fun! All in all we loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat!
