Mendoza

Mendoza is the hub of Argentina's wine region, with over a thousand wineries and a reputation for producing excellent red wines. If you enjoy wine, you will not want to miss this location. Bike tours of the vineyards are one of the most popular activities in Mendoza, and there are plenty of cafes and lodging options if you want to stay the night.

The region is also in full view of the majestic Andes mountains, and horseback riding is one of the best ways to take in the landscape. You can go on half-day horseback rides or 10-day or longer journeys into the Andes highlands to view the Uco Valley and Quebrada del Condor, which is home to the huge condor birds. The more adventurous Provincial visitors can also enjoy paragliding, and hiking in Parque.
