Paragliding

Mendoza is full of extreme sports, such as water rafting, skiing, snowboarding…There are many shops selling all kinds of equipments for extreme sports.

Whitney (a snowboard instructor from Cali) from my hostel talked me into trying out paragliding and she managed to get us a good price for 195 Argentinean pesos, around $50.

We took a jeep up to the hills.

Then took a 13 hours bus ($250 pesos, $65) to Buenos Aires at 7.15pm. The bus ride is pretty comfy, with wine, food and the chair can even go all the way down, just like a bed.
