Last weekend was a long one here in Argentina so we decided to venture out west and make the crossing via Mendoza over the Andes to Santiago de Chile. It was a full day drive to get to Mendoza and when we arrived there we heard that the pass to Santiago had been closed due to snowy weather but that it would probably open the next day again. We did go all the way up to the tunnel that connects Argentina with Chile, but the wait just to get into the tunnel was already very long; they did only let a limited amount of cars in at the time because on the other side there was a long line for the border control with Chile. Once through the tunnel it could take up to 4 hours to finally make it into Chile! We decided not to spend our weekend waiting and went back to Mendoza. Passing the Puente de las Incas where Nina & Stasiu got to play in the snow and later visiting two bodegas/wine houses in the region. The drive in Mendoza was spectacular, especially when the weather picked up.
