Mendoza

I ♥ Buenos Aires, Argentina (even when it’s covered in garbage!)

Disclaimer: some of the following photos contain large piles of garbage; yet, despite the ongoing garbage strike that occurred the week that we visited Buenos Aires, it still managed to be beautiful (albeit a little stinky at times).

Casa Rosada Plaza de Mayo where Eva Perón often used the balcony to address the people.

Mendoza, Argentina

There are several possible buses that make the daily run from Valparaiso, Chile (originating in Vina del Mar) to Mendoza and they cost about CLP9000/$19 for the 15 hour bus ride. I suggest either Tas-Choapa or El Rapido as they both offer good service, reasonable price, and safe buses.

Crossing the Chile-Argentina border was a breeze; just make sure to eat all your fruit before you get there.
