Sightseeing tours show visitors the history and culture of its dwellers, which may also be appreciated in its museums, its
cafés, squares, institutions and public buildings. Owner of a historical tradition, Mendoza preserves countless memories from the times of San Martin’s ordeal through
Mount De la Gloria,
el Plumerillo, San Martín Park and a variety of museums whose treasures document the passing of the Argentinian hero through this region.
But also nature rules in this city that serves as a starting point for all kinds of adventure activities and high country sports, such as mountaineering, climbing and ski, as well as river rafting, which is practiced in the Mendoza River, with some very difficult stretches highly praised by the best sportsmen in the world.
The
Wine Route is another ancient and renovated attraction in town. Visitors may go around several wineries tasting the wines produced at those venues and which have made this region famous worldwide.
No wonder the slogan "the land of good sunshine and good wine" remains intact, more accurate than ever.
