The city has several museums among them is “La Sebastiana” one of the houses of Literature Nobel price winner Pablo Neruda and another “Casa Mistral” the house of Gabriela Mistral (Nobel price winner for Literature in 1945).

MENDOZA
Mendoza is located next to the Andes Mountain Range forming an incredible Oasis in the middle of the Mendoza and Tunuyan rivers.
Mendoza is one of the most visited destinations in Argentina because of the many activities you can enjoy here.

Mendoza is the center of the wine industry in Argentina 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 in Mendoza is the ideal setting for the full expression of this grape variety.
Mendoza is home to more than a thousand wineries. What sets them apart from their counterparts in Napa, Bordeaux, and Tuscany is that most Argentine vineyards share recipes and techniques with tourists. On many tours, visitors are encouraged to get up close and personal with barrels, equipment, and grapes.
Mendoza is also famous for its close proximity to Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak in all of South America at 6,962 meters (22,835 feet). Nicknamed the “Roof of the Americas,” only experienced mountaineers attempt the summit, but hiking to base camp and the surrounding area is a popular option—and an unforgettable one at that.
