Mendoza. Fabulous Finds & Hidden Hints: Other tours

A Day in the Mountains:  While there are a million and one things you can do in the mountains we chose to take a ride to check out Christ the Redeemer that sits between the border of Argentina & Chile.  Our journey there was long but our guides had a bit of a sense of humor.  The road up the mountain is a shotty looking and only provides just enough room for two cars.  At one point we decided to play a cruel joke on the car behind us and placed stones across the road so they would be blocked temporarily.  
We finally reached Christ the Redeemer at the tippy top of the mountain.  The view was breathtaking but it was COLD! I would recommend it.  After visiting the El Cristo we made our way to Incan ruins not far outside of Mendoza.  If you haven't had the chance to see any Incan ruins before this is pretty cool.  If you have seen Machu Pichu then perhaps this will be less impressive.
If your there for a few more days you can also check out the natural springs not far outside of the city.
