Mendoza extends over a vast territory of 148,827 km2. It is situated in the mid-western region of Argentina and at the foot of the Andes, the highest mountains in America.
You can arrive in the province by air, or by land via two main roads, National Routes 40 and 143, that cross Mendoza from north to south, and International Route 7, also called "Bioceanic corridor”, which crosses the country from east to west and connects Buenos Aires to Santiago de Chile.
Together with the neighboring provinces of San Juan, San Luis and La Rioja, Mendoza forms the Cuyum or Cuyo Region - in the Huarpe aboriginal language this word means “pebbly soil".
The climate is nice, temperate and with little rainfall. The sun has a pact with these lands, turning the diaphanous skies into an added value for Mendoza as a tourist destination. These climate conditions, plus the existence of rivers fed by the melting of glaciers and snow, and the work of man have turned the desert soil into urban and rural oases where living and going for a visit is very pleasant.
Towns and cities in Mendoza Province present the particular physiognomy of "forest-cities", where tree alleys, ditches and the cleanliness of their public spaces are the distinctive elements.
The Capital of Mendoza, founded in 1561, provides all the services offered by any large city in the world, with a wide array of commercial and recreational activities and varied accommodation options. You can find hotels ranging from 1 to 5 stars, apart-hotels, hostels, bungalows, cabins and campings all around the Province. When it comes to entertainment, Mendoza has all you can imagine and wish: casinos, discos, theaters, museums, cinemas, wine bars, pubs, a rich cultural and artistic activity, varied options of international cuisine and regional specialties.
Besides, not only the cities but also some of the high-mountain centers have all necessary equipment for holding conferences and congresses, where it is possible to combine work with pleasure.
The rural spaces smell of vegetables, apples, cherries, apricots and above all, grapes. Mendoza is the leading wine-producing center in South America and as such, it produces and exports wines to numerous countries, mainly from its emblematic grape: Malbec.
When taking the "Wine Roads" and "Agrarian Routes" tours, you can enjoy the alliance between tourism and the produce of our land. Aconcagua Mount is the highest peak in America. From its 6,962 m a.s.l., it overlooks the entire province, where geography is generous in mountains, eternal snow, valleys, rivers, hot springs, plains, deserts and magical oases offering different possibilities to enjoy Mendoza 365 days a year.
