Discover Mendoza (Argentina)


Mendoza is a world-renowned centre for wine and cosmopolitan city in western Argentina. Surrounded by spectacular scenery and a hypnotic expanse of rolling plains and farmland dotted with picturesque vineyards, Mendoza is famed for its rich gastronomy and wine production. Occupying a privileged position in the Andes foothills, downtown Mendoza is a vibrant hub. Elegant, tree-lined boulevards lined with fashionable boutiques and enticing shopping malls lead to Plaza Independencia, surrounded by bustling cafes and tempting eateries, and the sun-dappled Andalusian-style Placa Espa'a. Mendoza is a perfect base for exploring the nearby wineries in Chacras de Coria, a town north of Mendoza. The mesmerizing Andes mountain range encircles the region dominated by the soaring Aconcagua peak, offering a wealth of outdoor leisure activities including adrenaline-inducing water rafting, horseback riding and winter sports at the Penitentes ski resort.
