Mendoza travel safety advice
Be wary of scams, especially around the bus terminal. Occasionally foreigners will pretend to have been robbed and use your sympathy to "borrow" money for a bus ride.
Specifically, a guy claiming to be a Dutch/Belgian traveller (blond/brown hair, about 30 years old) who got 'mugged' at the station, having everything including his backpack taken. Do not help him out, he's a local and has been doing this for a while.
As everywhere in Argentina, be careful of the vehicles. They do not honour the right-of-way-for-pedestrian or stop-sign laws (the police just stand around and watch the "fun"). Intersections are death traps, this cannot be emphasised too much, the vehicles are always driven erratically, fast, without attention, wandering and without signalling. Look everywhere, and make no assumptions. Especially be careful when there is a bus or taxi approaching from any direction. Many pedestrians choose to jaywalk (not a crime here) in the middle of the block to avoid endangering their lives and limbs at intersections!
