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.
Mendoza was awarded the 8th Wine City of the World in 2005 and its reputation continues to grow, especially with its flagship wine, Malbec. Today Argentina is the 5th largest wine producer in the world.
Among the most popular is to rent a car. This option will give you the freedom to explore at your own pace. But with 1500 wineries in Mendoza to choose from, you may want to maximize your visit with a guide.
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.
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.
