From Feb to Sep 06 I visited every country except Paraguay and the Guianas (no offence to Paraguayans!). To see an overview, click on the photo to the left then "View Trip Summary". Highlights were Patagonia (Arg, Chile), Cordillera Blanca (Peru) and kitesurfing in Is. Margerita, Venezuela!

1 May - ?: Mendoza

Arrived on a public holiday at siesta time so unsurprisingly it was all very quiet. The original plan was to go onto BA for a spanish course starting the following Monday but I liked the look of a school in Mendoza so I started a course there.

Mendoza (1 Million inhabitants) is Argentina's primary wine producing region so the thing to do is take a winery tour, which I did on Wed afternoon to recouperate after the first day of spanish school. Thursday night went to an "Unplugged" concert of Mendoza's favourite band "Chancho Va"... they had a bit of a Pearl Jam type sound mixed in with a bit of The Beatles.
