Of course, Mendoza tends to take a backseat to its big brother, Buenos Aires, who always gets the fame and notoriety. But Mendoza has a lot to offer a traveler, especially a traveler looking to escape the chaos and noise of the capital city. Here I will offer you the top 20 things to do in Mendoza—both in city center, and the outskirts.
Mendoza is a very easily walkable city and every activity can be done on foot (except getting to Cacheuta and Maipu). If you want to use the public transport, however, it’s super easy. They use the same SUBE card as Buenos Aires for both the bus and the train.
Where to Stay in Mendoza
Gorilla Hostel
@nicki
This is one of the most popular hostels in Mendoza. It seemed that everyone I met was staying here. It’s a very social hostel in a hip part of town. A great place to meet other travelers.

Chill Inn Hostel

This hostel is RIGHT on Aristides street, which is the most popular street for going out. If you’re into nightlife and like to be around all the action, this is the perfect place to stay.

I have been traveling the world for 20 years, and I want to help you do the same.
I am originally from Colorado, though I took off as soon as I graduated from university. Since then I have lived in ten countries and traveled through dozens more. I have learned languages, tried several new foods, walked across Spain, trained across Russia, worked on farms, and in pubs, taught English, and anything else that allowed me to keep going. My life motto is to be fearless and I try to live up to that every day.
I’m currently traveling around Tunisia. I spent an entire year traveling around Argentina so I know it quite well. I want to help you discover what makes this country incredible as well!

“Wow. Nicki is super knowledgeable about Argentina and actually travel in general. We discussed everything from general safety to the cost of renting an apartment long-term. My biggest takeaway was her ideas for using social media as a resource for learning about the people from the people. Great idea. Real nice gal too.”

“Nicki’s consultation was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns with ease and intelligence. She’s definitely someone to talk to before you visit or relocate to Buenos Aires or other locations in Argentina.”
-Paul
“My family and I are about to embark on a 3 month trip through Argentina, we had been binge watching youtube videos from Nicki so we scheduled a call to dive deeper. Nicki helped give feedback to our itinerary and gave great local perspective from cell phones to don’t miss desserts. It was super beneficial to get the added insight.“
