What to do and see in Mendoza, Cuyo: The Best Museums

August 8, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Known best for its wine, Mendoza is a bustling city to the east of Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere. Although it draws its share of adventure travelers, lured by the climbing, skiing, hiking and rafting opportunities within an easy drive of downtown, the area’s more than 1,000 vineyards bring oenophiles in even greater numbers.

This museum traces the city’s history and displays remnants of the original city, which was destroyed by an 1861 earthquake.

It is a very small place; however, they manage to convey Mendoza's interesting history. The place is surrounded by other historical sites so it is worth the visit.
