Often when travelling for long periods at a time we tend to plan our next destination relatively last minute. While we were in Santiago, Chile, we spent quite a bit of time debating whether we should fly to Mendoza, Argentina or take the bus. Being fully aware that flying would be much quicker (the full flight is about a half hour) and still relatively inexpensive, we’d heard that although much longer, the bus ride through the Andes Mountains was one of the best in the world.

We recently spent a couple of weeks in beautiful Argentina (primarily between Mendoza and Buenos Aires) and absolutely fell in love with the country. Bursting with friendly people, amazing food and wine and gorgeous landscapes, there isn’t much not to like about Argentina.
