August 10 - Sunday - Travel to Mendoza, Argentina - Mendoza Argentina is about 700 miles northwest of the Buenos Aires. It is located on the base of the Andes, so you can imagine that this is one of the biggest playgrounds for outdoor exploration. It has everything from camping to skiing to rafting. However the downtown is much like Buenos Aires in that the architecture is taken largely from European heritage. But it has its own unique blend of culture and architecture due to the indigenous influence. Mendoza is largely a pedestrian city full of tree line avenues and outdoor cafes, which makes it ideal for shopping, relaxing or just people watching.
