Absailing, 7000m Montañas & mas Carne y Vino
Mendoza has been great, plenty of Action stuff to do! Went Absailing yesterday which was loads of fun but bloody hard work considering you have to walk up the mountains before you trek down them. Headed from there to the thermal baths which was great but got a little too burnt.
Last night a group of 10 of us from the hostel that I am staying in thought that we would head out for some more Carne y Vino and I wasn´t disappointed! That saw us to heading to an Irish pub for a drink and back to the hostel at about 4 this morning. Im starting to adapt more to the Argentinean way of life. Dinner at 10, bars and clubs open at 1, back in the swing of things at a standard time of 9, but then siesta it up between 1 & 4:30.
It was little more difficult to get into the swing of things this morning when I got up at 6:30 to prepare for another day of adventure. I ensures that I made it up for it though with multiple siestas throughout the day on the bus.
We were off to Ancoragua, South America´s largest mountain of just short of 7000m, makes kosi look like the dandenongs! We couldn´t get all the way to the peak of course but we did get to a couple of decent vantage points of about 4500-5000m ourselves! We also stopped of at a few other things on the way there and back, mainly some Inca Ruins and a couple of other historic landmarks, but was really the best was simply the landscape.
Off again tomorrow, was originally heading to Isla de Chiloe to hang out in a National Park, but after chatting to a few people it kinda sounds about too tranquilo for what I am after at the moment so I will probably head to Pucon - the adrenaline junkie campital of Chile.
Stay tuned!
