I had a few days in Santiago, Chile ... and then an amazing bus journey (not a chicken or goat in sight on the bus) over the Andes back to Mendoza in Argentina, where I enjoyed the wineries and some rock climbing.
Next stop was the colonial city of Cordoba, then up to spectacular Iguazu Falls (with a day on the Argentine side, and a day on the Brazil side).
