Mendoza, Argentina Part 2

On Tuesday we went on a tour/trip called Alta Montaña. We went to see the mountain range, including Aconcagua (the highest peak in the Americas), El
Puente Del Inca, and the border of Chile and Argentina.

I'm pretty sure thats Aconcagua in the background

At the border - it was freezing up there

Our tour guide was hilarious – he was one of many Argentinians who have strong opinions towards the Chileans. We had some interesting political discussions with him as soon as I whipped out my carnet (Chilean ID card), and his two best quotes from the trip were “never let a Chilean draw a map,” and “living with Chileans is like living with your mother-in-law.”

Here's a picture we took with him at the base of the ski resort

Here's a picture from one of our many legendary late night dance parties

The Last Supper, Mendoza version

We ate like kings every meal – always steak, pasta, and wine, and my love for Argentina was renewed with this trip. I am a big fan of Argentina, but not really of Buenos Aires.

Finally, the amazing view from the plane on the short hop back to Santiago
