Mendoza is the center of Argentina’s wine
industry and accounts for approximately
70% of the country’s total output. Nearly
all the major wineries are concentrated
in this province. Its signature grape is
the Malbec. The climate and terroir in
Mendoza are the ideal setting for the full
expression of this grape variety.
In order to surmount the mountain ranges,
rivers make their courses flow deeper,
thus giving birth to imposing gorges such
as Cañon de Atuel, owner of a singular
color and beauty.
Adventure tourism offers a good range of
alternatives such as rafting, hiking, trekking
and horseback riding. Winter sports are
practiced in several ski centres, such
as Las Leñas Resort.
Panoramic tour led by an English-speaking
guide who will share the most important
attractions and districts of Mendoza. The
City is located in the mid-west of the
Argentine Republic and at the feet of the
Andes. The beauty of Mendoza's downtown
is phenomenal. What is most peculiar is
its network of water canals that have transformed
what was an arid region into an awesome
spectacle of blossoming trees and green
parks that surround the city. This tour
is ideal for first-time visitors.
