    Days 8-10 (and thanks!)

    Two great experiences to end the trip: San Telmo and Boca Juniors. San Telmo on Sunday is something you don't want to miss and once again I'm grateful you all talked me into it.

    BA bike guide

    Hi All, Thanks again for all the advice on Mendoza/Bariloche/Iguazu, really great insights to be found here. I have another request that is a bit more specific - does anyone know a bike guide that is reasonably fit, so we can cover a decent amount of ground in 4-5 hours? Group tours are...

    Newcomer Two-day side trip in August - Mendoza or Bariloche?

    Hi All, I've been lurking here for a few weeks and picked up many ideas and insights, so thanks for all your contributions! I'm visiting BA in mid-August with my old university roommate and want to take a side trip for a couple of days, any thoughts on Mendoza vs Bariloche? We're both mid-50s...
