Mountain auto rental discount climbing, river rafting, and winemaking is what Mendoza, Argentina does best…and what could be better? The fertile foothills of the Andes were calling our name so we set out for five days of adventure with ample breaks for wine and relaxation at Entre Cielos auto rental discount (check back for Anne s upcoming post on this unbelievable resort.)
Day one we hit the ground running from our overnight Santiago bus straight to Aconcagua—not only the region's highest mountain but at 22,841-feet, it's the tallest peak in the Americas. We assumed because it was in the Mendoza region it would be a hop, skip away but in actuality it was almost four hours from downtown. We wrote off the journey auto rental discount as naptime and were fully energized for our upcoming hike.
The hike to Confluencia base camp (we weren't quiet prepared for the full six-day climb) was incredible—even better than the destination itself. We'd never seen such a range of textures and colors in a mountain range.
Sandwiching our trip to the mega-mountains and the prolific vineyards was our journey through the city. We strolled around downtown Mendoza, soaking up the 16th-century architecture, plazas, artisanal markets and our favorite: the 971-acre Parque San Martín, auto rental discount where we picnicicked alongside Regatta Lake.
Though we were enjoying our day in Mendoza we couldn't wait to reach the the vineyard region of Luján de Cuyo and the dreamy Entre Cielos Hotel. The architecture, hamam spa, cuisine, and our unreal Vineyard Loft tempted us never to leave the property but with world-renowned wineries outside and the help of a stellar concierge, we set out to explore.
There is no better way to explore wine country than by bike.  You have ultimate freedom to change wineries at your leisure, stop for photos, soak in some sun, and breath in the vibrant aromas of the vineyards.  To make this happen, Entre Cielos worked with Baccus Wine Bike Tours to create a custom map of the most charming wineries in the area and delivered bikes right to our door.
The first stop on our bike tour was Bodega y Cavas de Weinert, founded in 1890 by the Spanish family Otera. We loved the informative tasting given in this divine cellar. The winemaker auto rental discount was our guide and with her knowledge and teachings, she got us to read into wine in a whole new way. Our favorite was the 2010 Malbec, as well as the Late Harvest Pinot from 2009.
The second stop on our slightly tipsy tour was Clos de Chacras, with its beautiful pondside tasting area.  The "Reserve Tasting" also came with a plate of cheese and crackers; auto rental discount it was so lovely we decided to stay for lunch.
auto rental discount To close out our tour from Baccus auto rental discount Bikes Wine, we had our chicest tasting to date. As you can see, this room at Alta Vista comes with personal water dispensers, a sink for rinsing your glass after you have pegged the subtle notes, and more stems always at the ready overhead.
