Texto sobre mis vacciones el año q viene a Mendoza?

I tell you : I have planned a trip to Mendoza for the winter holidays of this year 2018.

We are a family composed of two adults and two children.

I already have air tickets to Mendoza, but the idea is to go to the snow, and for what I see the cheapest alternative is Los penitentes or puquios.

The problem that I see is that the distance between the city of Mendoza and those places is 3 hours of travel by car and 4 hours by bus.

I plan to rent a car if necessary, but many doubts about the snow issue.

Is it safe to travel by route 7 by car in the winter season?

They recommend that you go in remis or micro to those places?

On the other hand, someone stayed in one of the hotels of the penitents .

Are they recommended?

I am in need of the advice of someone who has gone to the penitents or the puquios in winter in winter and tell me where he stayed, pros and cons .

Everything that is necessary to prepare me for the trip.

Thank you very much to all!

Diego.
