We´re up in the north of Argentina in a nice town called Salta. We got here this morning after another nice long bus journey (20 hrs this time) and we´re heading back over to Chile really early tomorrow morning to have a look at the Atacama desert!
We had a really good time in Mendoza, on Monday we went to see a natural Inca bridge and tried to see Aconcagua (the highest mountain in the Andes at 6,962m) but unfortunatly the weather was hiding it. The Inca bridge was cool, out in the middle of nowhere with a little market and a restaurant next to it.
Then on Tuesday we hired bikes and did a tour of a few wineries and also saw an olive oil factory and a chocolate factory. 80% of Argentina´s wine comes from Mendoza and there´s vinyards and little wineries all over the place. Each winery gives you a little tour and then some samples of their wine so we got to taste quite a few very nice expensive wines (one of them made a wine which cost US$500 per bottle! tho they wouldn´t let us taste it). Anyway it was a really good day and although we got a little tipsy it didn´t seem too dangerous!
Is quite sad to be leaving Argentina as it´s been great but hopefully we should be in Bolivia by the time we post next (or maybe on Becky´s birthday)!
Anyway, hope you like the photos!
