Mendoza Welcome to the Land of Sun and Good Wine. Check out the coolest spots to explore in this Argentine city.
Mendoza:
Bienvenidos a Mendoza!
Find #Mendoza at the foot of the Andes and let your #vacation experience roll out through the lush gardens, tree-lined streets and open plazas that drive the citys culture and heartbeat.
This part of Argentina is great to #visit year-round given its seemingly-endless sunshine. Located on an arid plateau, Mendoza was built on the irrigation channels that were originally dug by the indigenous Huarpe people. These waterways also feed snowmelt from the Andes to Mendoza's vineyards. Mendoza is one of the most highly renowned wine regions in the world.
From above, key Mendoza parks take on the shape of a dotted number five, like on dice. #Explore the central dot, leafy Plaza Independencia and its underground modern art museum. The corners are formed by the Plaza Italia, Plaza General San Martn, Plaza Espaa and Plaza Chile, with their richly decorated statues and fountains.
Carsten: Mendoza is nice, very clean, one of the safest cities in Latin America, not much traffic, very green with several nice parcs, good restaurants. . but also a bit boring! There is not much to see apart of the parcs. Within one hour you can explore the whole entire city. To stay 1 - 2 days in Mendoza is ok but not more. its better to rent a car and visit the area. Lots of wine yards, the Lake Potrerillos, the hot sources of Cacheuta. What is really amazing about Mendoza - its called the Capital of Wine and you can find dozens of shops selling wine (Malbec) but in the city you see more people drinking beer! I found several bars in downtown Mendoza serving excellent local craft beer - but no wine! Date: 2020-08-27
