I decided to take a holiday from life in Buenos Aires and visit Mendoza. Seamus had other plans for the weekend so decided I'd go alone. Maybe use it as an opportunity to practice my Spanish. Mendoza is in central Argentina, right in the middle of the region that produces 70% of the countries wine. As well as the wine the other attraction of Mendoza is its proximity to the Andes.
I took a 15 hour overnight bus to Mendoza, arriving Saturday afternoon. I soon met two other Irish guys who were traveling alone around Argentina. The 3 of us decided to go paragliding on the Sunday.

I have never been paragliding before so it was a new experience for me. It was tandem paragliding so there wasn't much for me to do but enjoy the view once we were airborne. Getting airborne was a bit weird, the guy tells you to run and you run off the side of the cliff. Eventually you are in the air and still running but there is nothing under your feet!
