I boarded my bus in Bariloche on Sunday afternoon bound for Mendoza.  It was a redeye that would take 17 hours arriving around 9:30AM on Monday.  Luckily in South America, the long-haul buses tend to be fairly nice.  The basic seats (semi-cama) recline halfway and if you are willing to pay a bit more, you […]
