Tips before traveling 

Arriving to Mendoza

Argentina is a huge country, so you'll probably arrive by plane. Mendoza's International Airport Governor Francisco Gabrielli, better known as El Plumerillo International Airport, is located 11 km from the city of Mendoza, in the Las Heras Department. 

How to move around

If you are going to do more than just wine tasting and eating at the vineyards I really recommend to rent a car. Mendoza has also some amazing landscapes to explore. For the days you are doing the wine tastings you should take a taxi if all people in your group are drinking. 

To call for a taxi look online for the telephone number, you should type: Taxi or Remis (it's the name for a private taxi) and the area where you are, or ask in the restaurant/vineyard you are to order one for you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hello, I'm Josefina, an Argentinian now living in Geneva, Switzerland (fun fact: my last name is Ginevra, which is the translation to Geneva in Italian). My journey from a career in psychology to becoming a travel planner has been quite an adventure, just like the trips I craft. When I relocated to Geneva with my husband, I faced the challenge of finding a job in a new country with a different language. This shift in my life opened the door to another passion of mine: travel. Throughout my time in Europe, I've explored well-known destinations and uncovered hidden gems, many of which are right here in this beautiful country I now call home. Travel has always held a special place in my heart. Even as a teenager, I enjoyed creating travel plans, but I never realized it could become more than just a hobby. It was the feedback from my trips with family and friends that inspired me. They marveled at how well everything was organized, from hotel choices to dining experiences and the unique places we visited. Their encouragement led me to consider a career in travel planning, but I wasn't sure how to make it happen until I discovered this platform. Thanks to Thatch, I'm now pursuing my dreams by crafting comprehensive guides and itineraries and offering my services as a travel planner. I invite you to explore my guides and see how I work. If you ever desire a personalized Eurotrip plan, don't hesitate to reach out. I'll plan your journey as if it were my own, taking into account your preferences, budget, and needs. Let's transform your travel dreams into reality!
