Chicas en bicicleta sobre Mendoza.

Wowser are we back in the mother country?
This place has an insane McLaren Vale, South Australia vibe. Chilly in the mornings and beautifully sunny in the afternoons. The autumn leaves are falling and the vineyards are not long ago harvested.
We ventured through the busy streets of Mendoza and headed south to the district of Maipu. Famous for its Malbec this place is bustling with packed out tour groups and tourists cycling about.
We did a very vague, google maps, self guided tour through the streets on our rented mountain bikes. We weaved through traffic, road blocks and road works to head down to the most famous wineries in the areas. We drank and smiled and had an extremely informative history lesson at one Cellar Door. We met some lovely girls who co-owned one of the oldest wineries in the district. With limited English, google translate and our complete lack of Spanish they gave us a tour of their small but significant winery (it has 5 stars on Google maps, and we’d give it 5 more). Thank you Amelia and Marina.
Oh Mendoza, we wish we could stay longer. And thank you Argentina. Next stop - Chile.Read more
