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!!!!!

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! | inuit Sun Feb 1, 2004 16:32 UTC
