Advantages: Chilled out, good wine, handy for the Andes and Chile Disadvantages: Relatively small
I stayed in Mendoza for 4 nights, and enjoyed my time there. One of the main things I noticed was the low price level - especially if you are travelling from the UK. This is a huge advantage that Argentina has at the moment, and it means that you can get by very comfortably on £20/day.
There are 3 main reasons that I can see to visit Mendoza: food (especially steak), wine and as a gateway to the Andes. The steaks are absolutely superb, as well as being great value for money - you won't find a better or cheaper chunk of beef anywhere in the world. Mendoza is also famous for its many wineries, and you can easily cycle round a few of them as a day trip (if you are energetic), taking advantage of free samples... As for the Andes mountains, they are perfect for climbing, hiking and other outdoor pursuits, and Mendoza is very ...

Advantages: Great skiing trails! Disadvantages: Not for the olds!
Valle de las Leñas means valley of the wood. But don't worry it doesn't mean that there are no good trails!
It?s an important Argentinean ski resort that owns 60 km of trails that are for ski and it's about 2250 and 3430 mt over the sea level. Besides, it has a good portion of surface to practice ski away from the trails.
from Europe it's easy to get there from a scheduled flight to Buenos Aires and from the same airport, Ezeiza, to Malargue (Las Leñas) or San Rafael(province of Mendoza), but this are not very often so the best thing is to change airport and go to the Jorge Newbery airport instead. It would take 45 minutes in a coach or bus, so I think that Buenos Aires worth a day there and then from Newbery airport to Malargue airport on a charter flight (no worries! they belong to the main airline!) it would take an hour ...

***PointBreak DVD***
PointBreak is certified as suitable for those over the age of 18. This is due to the violent and sexual nature of the film. There is some swearing, however, the context of al of these things do not deteriorate the quality of the film. Unlike films such as Friday, which uses the violence and aggressive language to appeal to the younger audiences by appearing to be 'cool', PointBreak doesn't do this. Instead PointBreak still manages to provide a plot into which the behaviours of the characters are congruent.
Kathryn Bigelow (Director) cleverly combines the 'undercover cop befriends the baddies' genre, with a diverse twist. She uses rookie FBI agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), as the cop that seeks out the baddies by befriending them. Its Johnny Utahs' partner (Gary Busey), who has the theory that the gang ...
