We didn't find a couch in Mendoza so we checked into a hostel that just opened to months ago. It was extremely cheap but surprisingly clean and empty (probably due to very few references on the hostel booking pages) plus the guys did a great afford to help us and they adopted a cute street dog.
Mendoza is a very pleasent small town. A hundred years ago, an earthquake destroyed most of the city so when it was rebuild, they build it with wider avenues and lots of small plazas, as evacuation point and today they are just very nice places to hang out and take away the feeling of being in a big town. On our first day in town there was also a free tango and wine tasting event on the main square, so it was a nice welcome.
After checking a few agencies, we picked one for a full day trip into the Andes, until the chilean border. On our way we stopped at several places, an old spanish bridge, a natural stone formation where iron and calcium oxidate and make it look really nice and finally a christ redeemer statue at 4000m height right on the border with Chile.
The next day we took a tour to vineyards with rented bikes which was unfortunately not how we had imagined it before, because the tasting at the single vineyards was not included in the tour price so we just visited very few and in the end just relaxed in a nice beergarden.
