Hi,

I'm planning on traveling to Argentina next week for a combination of tourism and Spanish classes. My itinerary is to fly into Mendoza, spend approximately 7-10 days there, fly to El Calafate/El Chalten for some hiking, and then return to BA for the last two weeks of my trip.

Could anyone provide any recommendations for spanish classes, particularly in Mendoza? Also, is my time allotment for Mendoza too much or are there other interesting - preferably outdoorsy - sites in easy striking distance? I recall from past trips elsewhere in Argentina that distances can be immense and, even though it's a lengthy trip, I'd prefer not to waste my days in buses (night buses are okay).

Thanks in advance!
