"Montañas, vino y rosas (Mountains, wine & roses)" Mendoza by andal13
Mendoza Travel Guide: 466 reviews and 1,030 photos
Mendoza is a beautifull city; situated in the middle of an arid zone, this place is like an oasis, full of vegetation. This is posible because the water resources are well used: the mountain streams are channeled, and all along the streets there are narrow channels where water runs. The sidewalks are planted with numerous trees, that sink their roots into those channels. Streets and avenues are well planned, in such way that cool breeze blows through the city from wooded parks. Mendoza is also a clean city: squares floors and sidewalks are polished!
(The picture shows Mount Aconcagua, the highest in South America, and probably, one of the most spectacular mountains.)
Mendoza es una ciudad preciosa; situada en medio de una zona árida, es como un oasis, lleno de vegetación. Esto es posible al buen uso de los recursos hídricos: los torrentes de montaña son canalizados, y a lo largo de las calles hay canales por donde corre el agua; las aceras están plantadas con numerosos árboles, que sumergen sus raíces en dichos canales. La ciudad tiene una urbanización bien planificada, con avenidas y calles que permiten la circulación de aire fresco desde parques arbolados. Mendoza es, además, una ciudad limpia; los suelos de plazas y aceras están pulidos!!!!!
(La foto muestra el Aconcagua, la montaña más alta de Sudamérica, y una de las más espectaculares.)
- Pros:It's a beautiful city, with a lot of interesting places
- Cons:Really hot summer
- In a nutshell:Much more than good wines!

Hi, very nice page.
cara Andrea, Mucho guapa, Mendoza! Also, your writing in castilliano helps me a lot... I'm just starting to learn :-) Hasta l'amistad siempre!
I was surprised to hear that it is very hot here in summer, even so close to the Andes! Nice looking squares and the Inca Bridge looks fantastic!
you bring me good memories from the big trip i did in South America. I was staying with a family in Mendosa.
Hasta Luego! Diganos todo lo que necesita saber sobre Ushuaia!!! Ciao~
I only stayed for a short while in Mendoza, can't actually remember...but the Bridge sounds familiar, and of course the wine ^..^ thanx for filling in a hole in the head...herrlich!!
Mount Aconcagua does look beautiful. Maybe next time!
