The flight over the Andes takes less than an hour. Just enough time to admire the beautiful mountains and to play a bit with the camera!
Mendoza is a place where it's always nice to return to. Cute, outdoorsy and somehow sleepy in comparison to Santiago. Which of course gives us a welcome change. Food, shopping, weather, action - all is great in Argentina!
So the first thing we did after arriving in Argentina, was to get a good lunch with some delicious Malbec.
With full bellies we headed to Sarmiento, the main pedestrian area in the centre of Mendoza.
Me at my favourite pastime, window shopping. Okay, second favourite, after actual shopping! ;)

Next to the fantastic wines and steaks, Argentina is famous for different leather products.
In the evening it was time to chill and listen to some local live band that was playing in the Parque Independencia.
On Saturday, while the girls headed to the Mendoza Plaza Shopping Mall, the guys thought shopping doesn't give enough adrenaline kick. (Obviously, they haven't been bargain shopping ever...) Instead, they booked a little adventure trip over Mendoza.
On Sunday we went exploring the calm city's gigantic park, Parque San Martín.

es esta tierra lejana.
