Â The bus station here is no different (sketchier) than any other 3rd world country. I was impressed that the buses were on time and clean and comfy. For US$9.60 a ticket from Mendoza to Penitentes, I was pretty amazed. Â I'd advise going early in the season (mid-Dec) to beat the crowds and take advantage of more snow still coving up the choss on the route. That sidde of the peak is getting more popular and doesn't handle the crowds well IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah, the buses do run on time, and the sweet sticky tea they give you is all good, but they smoke like chimneys and the panhandlers are everywhere. Â Bring me back a few bottles of Malbec!

marek Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 is "campo base " still open in mendoza ? that was a small place to stay few minutes away from city center.it was full of adventure folks staying there.and as far as party town ? i think santiago is much better on the way out, you can have your own private festival at any time.
