After leaving Estancia we had a very scenic drive up into the mountains and it was to be our first night in a tent. As we had gone up into the mountains it was quite cold when we arrived. We set up our tent which was almost the same as the ones in Africa but slightly thinner. It was Sarahs turn to cook the evening meal so they got busy preparing carbonara for us while we all huddled around a camp fire for warmth. Dinner was very nice and soon afterwards we all he...

We arrived in Estancia which is a gaucho ranch where we were staying for nights. We met the owner Kevin who showed us around and to our dorm. We settled in before going to his house in the evening for some wine tasting. He had 4 wines for us to taste and some locally mad cheese and crackers. He was a very funny man and kept telling us stories about the wine and the area. He was very generous with his wine as normaly you only get a tiny bit to taste but he half fi...

After a 40 hour bus ride from Rio we arrived at 8:30am in Buenos Aires. We got a taxi to the hotel where we were meeting our new overland tour group. We were shown to our room and settled in.

The hotel was close to where we stayed before so we knew our way around. We couldnt withdraw a...

We arrived at half seven in the morning so we went back to bed for a few hours before going to explore. Once again it was a Sunday so quite a lot of places were closed but we managed to find a nice Italian restaurant that was open. After that we made our way back to the hostel and just had a lazy evening. The nex...

We took the overnight bus from Buenos Aires to Mendoza. The company was called Andesmar and it was very nice. We had the front two seats upstairs so we had a nice view of the road ahead. The seats were black leather and reclined all the way back to almost flat. There was a pillow and a blanket on our seats. Not long after we had set off the man came around with a tray full of sweets and Bingo tickets! So we attempted to play Bingo and did very well considering he...
