Introduction to Mendoza

The capital city of the western province of the same name, Mendoza is a beautiful city resting in the foothills of the Andes. It sits underneath the highest peak in the western hemisphere – Aconcagua - which stands at a staggering 22,835 ft/6,960 m. Argentina’s fourth largest city is a bustling and energetic metropolis that basks daily in a perpetually warm and sunny climate. Despite its size, Mendoza’s atmosphere feels more fitting with that of a peaceful small town though this takes nothing away from its cosmopolitanism.  

The avenues, parks, and plazas of Mendoza are lined with trees and the surrounding suburbs overflow with gardens and orchards making this one of Argentina’s most pleasant and attractive cities. It also boasts some of the finest wine to be found in the world, understandably a key attraction for visitors and travelers in the region.
