Been years since I've been to Mendoza. Loved it what I remember of it. I know we stayed at a vineyard for the week there at family. Just can't remember who ;)
Thanks Axel! I actually did visit several wineries but very disappointingly, my camera died so I could not complete the video. So all you'll get to see of my wine touring are the clips at the end of this video!
@@axelpap4613 Thank you! I've had very bad luck with phones recently! haha But once I got back home, it started working again. So unfortunately I just wasn't able to film the wineries.
Thank u for ur kind and detailed explanation of the Mendosa. I will keep to visit ur channel I am from S.Korea and I have a plan to visit Mendosa soon. Thank u
I hope you'll do a second video with the wineries, perhaps another one with the excursions you might do to Aconcagua National Park, Potrerillos, Uspallata, Villavicencio. I left Bodega Lopez with five bottles of winein my backpack, and then visited Bodega Giol, and did another wine tasting. The museum of Wine was just across the street, but closed for a private event. I enjoyed it, even with the extra weight I carried, LOL.
Hi Myriam! Funny you mention it. I did actually START filming a wine video, but after 15 minutes, my camera just died and I couldn't turn it back on. It was extremely frustrating, and I wasn't able to get footage the rest of the day. So very sadly, there will be no full wine video about Mendoza. But I'm glad you got a ton of good stuff! :)
We're starting to plan our trip to Argentina (likely Igazu > BA > Mendoza), and wanted to say you've done a great job with this video! Looking forward to your other content!
Nicki, you covered everything very well. Thumbs up! This includes the comparison between Buenos Aires and Mendoza regarding spending and renting. Having you do this work is greatly appreciated.
You are a fantastic teller of travel tidbits. I've been traveling for dozens of years well before the internet and cell phones. And your content is to the point, easy to decipher, with great pics and info...kinda like the ole' Lonely Planet bibles we use to walk around with. And to boot you always do it with a nice smile. I am currently in Mendoza and LOVE it here . . . it may well be my new escape home from northern Wisconsin winters here on out. Thanks again for your great channel.
Thank you so much, Dojoro! :) I also started traveling before TH-cam and Instagram existed, so maybe subconsciously I'm just telling people the information I would have wanted in the Lonely Planet days! Mendoza is definitely an incredible place, I hope you'll continue to enjoy it! :)
Just like all of your other content.......fantastic!!! My Redhead and I will be checking out Mendoza and Salta for three week in May. My guess is we will end up choosing Mendoza as our next home. But.......ya veremos. Gracias por todo, estaremos en contacto.
I've always loved Travel Show's, have seen them all Your's is by far the best, great real time tips, which I'll definitely put to use. Much appreciated Keep it up
Hola Nicki ! Greetings from Vancouver Canada ! I'll be vacationing in BA soon and so glad I found your channel.. its very informative. Keep up the great work. All the very best !
Thanks for the video, I was surprised it was more a city than kinda raw nature so glad I had a look. BTW, what is the name of the hotel spa thingy? Thanks
We want to go spend a few months in Mendoza, as a possible retirement city. We will. likely stay downtown in the middle of everything, but as far as long term, we are wondering about the countryside. Seems like in Cordoba, people go to the Sierras to live. Does Mendoza have some nice areas in the countryside that we may want to check out ?....hopefully close to a bus route and not too too far from the city....??? Thanks !
You must visit Potrerillos, Uspallata, Tupungato, Tunuyán. A nice place to live and closer to the big city than the others is Cacheuta. If you have dollars, you would buy something at a very convenient price. Good luck dude! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Nicki, great video. How is the internet in Mendoza? I need to be connected for work but would enjoy spending some time in Mendoza as long as the connection is good. Thanks!
Your video is 99% exact!! im mendocinian , the only thing i would suggest is not to go to Alameda at night its a bit insecure and really is not nice pretty doggy y would say , just stick in Aristides , Juan B Justo and Sarmiento
During the two weeks I was there (first two weeks of November) the weather was really nice. Definitely spring vibes and at the end, it was summer hot. Although there were about 4 days in the middle when it was quite cold and rainy.
We are going to Mendoza in a week and are renting bikes. When you went on a bike, did you make reservations at the wineries or did you just show up? We heard that you have to make reservations. Any info you can give is most appreciated!
Wow! You really meant it, when you said IF you'd come back, you'd live in Mendoza? Just because of the affordability situation?! Or because BA is too big / other reasons? Great Video, keep going!!!!
I really do mean it. BA is so big and so hectic, that it's just not for me anymore. Lot's of people love it though, it's just that I personally want less noise and chaos. For me Mendoza had that perfect balance. Calm but still city conveniences.
Hey Erin- Absolutely! It's very easy to walk around in. It's also quite easy to take the bus, or train to Maipu. You don't need a car. The only thing a car would be great for, is to go hiking outside of the city. But within the city itself, you'll have no issues. I walked everywhere there. Took the bus to Cacheuta thermal baths, and the train to Maipu for wine tastings.
Nicki, I am traveling in Argentina right now. I was in BA for 3 days, and I have now been in Bariloche for 2 days. I can not find a SUBE card anywhere. I have asked at almost 20 kioskos and all of them say "no tengo"! Where on earth do you find them?
Jennifer, I am SO SORRY! I heard that several months ago in BA they were really hard to find, but I thought that was over now. I'm surprised you haven't been able to find one in Bariloche. That is super frustrating. Have you managed to find one now? Message me on IG, I'll see if I can help. @nickipostsstuff
So there's nowhere to eat on Sunday with everything closed? Or is it just the popular places that are closed on Sunday? What options are there for tourists who are unable to cook at home?
Sure, there are several options for eating on Sundays in Mendoza. I was just specifically talking about that street, Juan B Justo. Go to Aristides and you find a ton of options!
Good question. I do speak Spanish so it wasn't an issue for me really. But I really don't think it would be bad. I met several English speaking people there, and it is very likely that anyone working with hospitality speaks a bit of English at least. Plus people are really nice there. So even if you can't speak Spanish, just smiling and laughing with them will go a long way! :)

Im in Maryland, with cold weather , and watching your Mendoza blog is pure torture- it looks beautiful.
Haha I guess it’s your sign to book a flight!! I’ve been in Maryland in the winter, and know how cold it gets. I don’t envy you!! :)
Meet you in Mendoza but laughing at Maryland being cold. 50 degrees in Md and 5 degrees here in Alaska.
@@jimjensen9139 haha ok ok, compared to Alaska, every place is warm 😅
It goes from 45 c to -10 c between summer and winter, visit in spring, its nicer then
Very informative and nicely done. None of the narcissism of so many travel vlogs. Thank you.
I so agree with this 100%
I really like Mendoza, one of the safest and cleanest cities in Argentina !! Amazing content, keep it up !!💪
Hi Andres, thank you so much. I also really enjoyed it. It was so quiet and peaceful!
I was there 4 years ago for a month and a half, now I am moving there in January! Nice video.
That's fantastic. Have the best time ever! :)
Bienvenido!!!
Did you move? and if so how is it?

Aww thank you so much! :)

Oh staying an entire week at a vineyard sounds divine!
I concur with you 100%. Loved BA but Mendoza is the place where I would like to live.
Yes!! There is something really special about it!
Amazing episode in Mendoza, the next time you must visit the wineries, cheers
Thanks Axel! I actually did visit several wineries but very disappointingly, my camera died so I could not complete the video. So all you'll get to see of my wine touring are the clips at the end of this video!
@@NickiPostsTravelStuff Ok, I'm so sorry about your camera, I hope you can get another one

Mendoza seems super chill! An excellent alternative to the prices in BA. Nice one, Ms. Nicki.
Yesss it's super chill! I could definitely see myself possibly living there!
Great video about mendoza!,,definitely will put that on the list of must see when I get back to Argentina
Yes definitely do!! It’s a nice change of pace from BA!
Wow. That looks awesome. Yes you convinced me Mendoza looks more my style than BA.
Oh great, happy to hear that. It is definitely more my style as well. I hope you enjoy it!! :)

Muy linda ciudad, ultimamente muchos turistas americanos la visitan, los veo posteando en youtube❤
Nice job Nicki ... a lot of great info and you look very natural in front of the camera.

Hi Nicki. Do you have any videos in Rosario, Argentina?
I’m sorry, I don’t!
Are you still in Mendoza? I’m going there from Canada and I’d love to connect and hanging out. I love making friends :)
Hey Nikki! Is Mendoza a pedestrian friendly town? Would I need a car to get my basic needs met there?
Thanks!!
Hey Erin- Absolutely! It's very easy to walk around in. It's also quite easy to take the bus, or train to Maipu. You don't need a car. The only thing a car would be great for, is to go hiking outside of the city. But within the city itself, you'll have no issues. I walked everywhere there.

@@NickiPostsTravelStuff TYSM!
@@DemureDelight8055 You're so welcome! :)
Maybe you can post some menus on your insta, but probably they don't have any prices on those 'cause of inflation :-p
I can post some menus on insta stories, but prices change so fast. I'm not sure that they'll be the same in two months from now.
Nicki, I am traveling in Argentina right now. I was in BA for 3 days, and I have now been in Bariloche for 2 days. I can not find a SUBE card anywhere. I have asked at almost 20 kioskos and all of them say "no tengo"! Where on earth do you find them?

How do you think Mendoza would be for a group that speaks very little to no Spanish?

I met several English speaking people there, and it is very likely that anyone working with hospitality speaks a bit of English at least. Plus people are really nice there.
