If you’re planning on visiting Mendoza you really just HAVE to go to the Andes. I mean, it’s one thing to see those gorgeous Andean backdrops from the city center, but another to drive straight through them.
Rent a car for a day, start early and just be amazed while cruising around and between those majestic peaks.
I just really, really loved this part from the Andes. Perhaps it was because we encountered snow on the way there (so strange in ‘summer’!). Or because you can see the highest peak in the western hemisphere. Or because of the condors flying around. Though choice.
Curious whatever else you’ll see on the way? Join our road trip all the way from Mendoza through the mountain pass to the Argentine – Chilean border in this drone video!
