After two days of winery tours I had enough of wine and went for another day of outdoor fun – Rafting it had to be this time. Three others from my hostel and myself signed up for a full day rafting trip and therefore had – as the only ones doing the full day tour – a boat for ourselves.

We were on the water for around two hours before we had a lunch stop at an abandoned train station in the middle of nowhere (it felt a bit like  in a horror movie…).
After lunch we had a further two hours on the boat back to the starting point … photos were taken on the way …

I was finally on myself … flying over to Mendoza, Argentina’s wine capital and also a good hub for any kind of outdoor activity.

I spent my first full day in Mendoza with a hike up to Cerro Arenales. It was enjoyable hike, however not in the most favorable weather conditions. We started off in light rain, which turned to hail and finally snow during the ascend; of course there was also no view … as we were basically within the cloud.
