Mendoza

I went through the Andes in many of my travels in Bolivia, in Peru, in Ecuador. This time I wanted to reach Buenos Aires from Santiago de Chile, the Pacific to the Atlantic, through the mountains. The majority of course is on the Argentine side, since Chile is a long but narrow. After a few hundred miles, we began to climb up. About 12 people in a minivan, we pushed each time the driver turned, we got altitude sickness, which generally mixed to seasickness. But for about 20 euros the path of Santiago to Mendoza, the first major city on the Argentine side, so we did not complain. Then was a succession of peaks, an outpost in the middle of nowhere, and we had forgotten that in the 2 capitals is summer, the Andean plateaus surrounded by mountains with peaks at over 6000 meters high, covered with snow, and the descent to Mendoza, which makes the best wine in the country, and delicious meat that melts in your mouth.

A city is made up by its people, people are made up by history, history is made up by sites. The vegetation of a territory that would be a desert if man had not taken action. Its avenues, the ruins of San Francisco, Independencia Square, the foundation área, Gral. San Martín Park and Cerro de la Gloria are part of the urban heart of the Province of Mendoza.

Output in the morning from city Hotel with destination to General San Martin Park. We will climb to the la Gloria hill where you will enjoy wonderful panoramic views of the city.
Continuing towards The Central Valley region where we make a visit to a Boutique Winery with directed tasting.

Finally we had lunch with the wines of the region.
