LOCATION | SIGHTSEEING:

The romance of Argentina takes one's breath away. From the northern deserts to the southern Andean Cordillera, from Iguazú Falls to the magnificent desolation of Patagonia, Argentina's geography is varied and stunning. Argentina is geared up to thrill - from nights tango-ing in the chic quarter of Buenos Aires to gaucho riding in the grasslands of the Pampas.
Located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, Mendoza and its surrounding countryside is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. This beautiful town is next to some of the world's best skiing and in the summer months visitors enjoy mountain biking, rafting and hiking.

Things to Do in Mendoza
• Explore downtown Mendoza with it pedestrianised tree-lined avenues where the city's main attractions include Government House, San Martin Park Forest and Cerro de la Gloria are to be found.
• Mendoza is a world famous wine region so a visit to a vineyard is a must!
• Visit stunning Aconcagua National Park - the nearby Mount Aconcagua, which at 22,944 feet is the highest mountain in the Andes, draws devoted mountain climbers. In the summer months choose adventure sports here - mountain biking, rafting, zip lining and hiking can be done in this area.
• Uspallata, Potrerillos and Puente del Inca are all beauty spots worth visiting on short excursions.
• Las Leñas is the most modern ski resort in Argentina and is just four hours south of Mendoza, near Malargüe.
