Is
good to stroll in the streets of Mendoza, so Argentinian,
but already a little Chilean, and where the sun is shining
320 days per annum.
Mendoza always lived with the fear of the earthquakes. That
of 1861 destroyed the city almost completely. This explains
the absence of very old buildings.
 About
the middle of the 19th century, with the arrival of the French,
Italian and Spanish vine growers they created vineyards which
provide the ¾ Argentinian wine. Mendoza is proud of
its wines made for the majority starting from French type
of vines. Certain suckers can visit themselves.
The best way of discovering the panorama of the city and the
oasis in the "desert", it is to go to Cerro of Gloria,
hill which dominates Mendoza.
Mendoza is also the ideal starting point for the sports of
mountain.
To 165 km the station of winter of Los Penitentes is. Located
at 2.500m of altitude, it has a skiable field of 2.500 ha.
To 85 km the station of Vallecitos, located at an altitude
of 2.900m, offers the same possibilities.
