From Bariloche it is a 19 (!!!) hour bus ride to Mendoza. I survived though, and the city is well worth it. It’s a great walking city with tons of cafes and bars where you can rest your tired feet. Mendoza is in the heart of the wine country so people spend at least a day touring vineyards. I didn’t plan my trip well. I arrived in Mendoza on a Saturday morning and was leaving on a Sunday evening, but I didn’t realize that the wineries were all closed on Sunday until too late on Saturday afternoon so I missed out on that experience.
Argentina is a very large and flat country. This was the scenery for most of my 19 hours from Bariloche to Mendoza.
Beautiful, tree lined streets make this a great walking town.
General San Martin Park is 420 hectares in the heart of Mendoza.
The park was quite empty the day I was there, but it could have been because of the ominous black clouds above.

The gates for the park were made in England and were originally forged for the Turkish Sultan Hamid II.
