Located in Western Argentina at the base of the Andes Mountains, Mendoza’s capital takes advantage of Inca-era Acequias to form a lush desert Oasis. The province, which receives only 200 mm of precipitation annually, is dry and arid.
The continental climate provides nearly constant sunshine with warm summer temperatures (30-40 Celsius) and cool winters (0-10 Celsius). Diverse activities and attractions make Mendoza a year-round destination.
Centered around five main plazas, downtown Mendoza provides endless options for accommodation, beginning with the economical Hostel Independencia, and rising to the new five-star Sheraton Hotel and Casino.
Restaurants abound in the city, and most offer much more than the typical Argentine fare of Parrilla and Italian dishes. While casual dining is available along the pedestrian only street in front of Plaza Independencia, anyone looking for a unique dining experience should head to the rooftop of Edificio Gomez, where El Decimo restaurant offers fine dinning with exquisite views.
The student population keeps a wild nightlife going until the early hours of the morning. Aristides Villanueva Street offers a variety of bars and pubs where locals normally begin their nights around 10. Around 2:00AM, the scene shifts to nightclubs in Chacras de Coria, about 20 minutes away by taxi.
Parque San Martin, located on the edge of the city, houses endless opportunities to explore. Start by walking around the man-made lake where the Regatta Club de Mendoza practices before hiking Cerro de la Gloria. The city zoo, golf course and football stadium are also located in the park.
Many companies off an Alta Montana tour, but Campo-Base is likely the most reliable. They offer the tour daily, but travel via Villavicencio on Saturdays before venturing on the natural wonders at Puente del Inca and Cerro Aconcagua.
