This past weekend I went to Mendoza to relax and get out of the city. Don´t get me wrong, Buenos Aires is great. It just becomes a little tiring and hectic after a while. A group of us decided to put our long weekend to good… Gracias por tu ayuda!

We already have found out that the Subte and public buses are amazing… Gracias por tu ayuda!
