COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
At the biggest and most popular square, the Plaza Independencia, ice cream and yerba maté vendors sell their goods. Kids run around, and locals relax and congregate in little groups listening to the bands.
Wander from here to the other four plazas and you get a good sense of the city’s layout. In Plaza San Martín, Mendoza’s Financial District, there is a statue of the General San Martin who led Argentina to independence.
Argentina’s wine industry dates back over 500 years. Many visitors to Mendoza are wine lovers that travel there with the express purpose of visiting the Mendoza wineries outside the city and experiencing wine tastings.
One guided tour option is a small group tour which includes lunch with wine pairings. Biking your way around the wineries has become increasingly popular.
Riding horses between Mendoza’s vineyards as part of a horseback riding winery tour has got to be one of the ultimate Argentina wine tour experiences.
As with any winery tour, your visit will involve sampling. You may want to take the hop-on-hop-off-bus that travels a loop through some of the best wineries. This way you can sample to your heart’s delight without worrying about getting tipsy or driving back to your hotel with a buzz.
