The 20-hour bus trip from Buenos Aires to Santiago de Chile via Mendoza is one of breath-taking scenery.
Most of the trip nothing is to be seen but the endless Argentinian pampa and its countless cows, but once you get to Mendoza, vineyards pop up everywhere and everything makes sense; cow + wine = a good meal. Or a drunken cow. Or a bad wine.
Passing the majestic Andes mountain range, at one point one can see Aconcagua, which with its 6.962 meters is the highest mountain in the Americas, the highest in the Southern Hemisphere, and the highest peak outside of Asia.
The first picture is from the Buenos Aires-Mendoza bus, the second from the Mendoza-Santiago bus.
