What to do and see in Mendoza, Cuyo: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

Astonishing place, just 1 hour from Mendoza city, if you can go by car is better because you can freely choose between stops and the distances are far for walking. On the other hand you can take a bus (AR$81 by ticket) and hop off on the second stop (the first one after Cacheuta). The Dam itself its a marvelous lake with blue waters and high mountains you can see the Aconcagua from certain places.It becomes the perfect activity for a whole day, pack some food, beverages and a speaker if you want, invite some friends over and enjoy. Just be cautious of the sun there is no shading. Some spots has kayak and other rental activities for the day.

This beautiful french iron wrought gates were damaged a couple of years ago but subsequently repaired and painted. Are very attractive and a good opening for the wonderful park that lays behind, and right in front of the Marley horses.

This pedestrian walk comprises three blocks. It is a tree-lined walkway surrounded by restaurants and bars, with their outside tables, shops - all kinds of shops, mostly wine shops - coffee shops, shoe and handbag shops, even beauty salons and barber shops. This is where everything happens, from street musicians to concerts sponsored by the municipality. On one end is the beautiful Plaza Independencia, with its fountains and artisans shops, and on the other end is the busy San Martin Avenue, with more shops and restaurants. This is the place to go in Mendoza to relax, maybe have a cup of coffee, a beer or a glass of wine, while listening to live music and watching the passersby. This is also one of the stops of the Mendoza City Bus Tour, where you can stop for lunch.
