About Mendoza
Mendoza, located in the mid-west of the Argentine Republic and at the feet of the Andes, is Cuyo Region's most important city. With over 1,6 million inhabitants, it is the country's 4th largest city. Its exceptional climate allows the bests grape to ripen, basis for its excellent wines.
Mendoza is the center of Argentina’s wine industry and accounts for approximately 70% of the country’s total output. Nearly all the major wineries are concentrated in this province. Its signature grape is the Malbec. The climate and terroir in Mendoza are the ideal setting for the full expression of this grape variety.
The beauty of Mendoza's downtown is phenomenal. What is most peculiar is its network of water canals that have transformed what was an arid region into an awesome spectacle of blossoming trees that completely surround the city.
The Andes Mountain Range offers endless attractions to tourists, where the Aconcagua Mountain (North and South America’s highest peak - 6,959 meters above sea level) is the star.
Taking care about every single detail, Mendoza Holidays will create the journey of your dreams.
