Driving from BA to Mendoza
 
How long is the drive from BA to Mendoza? Is it a fairly easy drive? My husband has driven all over the world including CR. We are independent travelers and don't mind driving far distances. Thanks

We have driving more than once between Buenos Aires and Mendoza and it is not a driving I would recommend. It is long, very long. Tedious. You will not like it I can guarantee it.

( We did it because at the time my husband's family was in Mendoza and he at the time hated to fly. We took also the train once which is also horrible )

I suggest you fly and rent a car, or take a bus (they are good) and then rent a car.

Have a great time in our country.

It is straight, boring and makes alot more sense to fly the hour and a half. Suerte!

Thanks for the responses. I will check into flying.

it makes a lot of sense to fly but it costs nearly as much as a r.t. flight from the usa....????

If the ticket is too expensive then take a bus as
avrooster suggests. Buses are good and driving makes no sense.

my point is that the air tickets are outrageous...
