Wine, rafting and well, food, food and more food


We´ve been on the go the past two days and I´ll posting photos and more posts soon. To catch up, we´ve been hanging out at Chimbas Hostel http://www.chimbashostel.com.ar/. The rooms are a pretty good deal and they have Internet access and a small pool, although it was only half-full the day we arrived.

Two days ago we took a winery tour (more later) and yesterday we went rafting down the Mendoza River through crazy Class IV rapids. It was interesting to say the least. Again, we´ll have pictures soon.

AK here. Just added a photo of Chimbas. We spent three nights here, had three 1000 ml beers, and four 1000 ml water bottles for a total of $75. Breakfast included. Claudio is the manager and does a great job of taking care of his guests. There were no reports of theft or any other foul play. It is near the bus station, but a 35 min walk from the Independencia Plaza; the city center. Overall, a great value if you don´t mind a bit of walking. The two resident dogs do a good job of providing entertainment.
