This
region is composed by three beautiful provinces: Mendoza, San
Juan and La Rioja, featuring unique desert-like landscapes in
the hole country.
Mendoza, known as the "Tierra del Vino" (wine land), is located
in the middle of the desert and at the foot of the Andes Mountain
Range. Among its many attractions, this blessed by nature province
offers unrivalled beauty well worth being visited all year round.
The province capital city, also called Mendoza is well known
for its squares matched by well kept streets, ancient trees
which frame each of the impeccable corners. From Mendoza head
west into the high Andes. This unforgettable climbing road,
passing through picturesque small villages, reaches the 4,200
mts. (12,800 ft.) at the "Cristo Redentor" (Redemptive Christ)
area.
On a clear sky day the vistas of the Aconcagua and the surrounding
mountains are just incredible. You also don't want to miss visiting
the world-renowned Argentinean wineries. |

Located alongside the border between San Juan and La Rioja,
the two most important pre-historical National Parks of Argentina
are awaiting for you. Valle de la Luna National Park on one
side of the border and Talampaya National Park on the other
are only 10 km. away from each other, featuring some of the
oldest geological formations on earth.
Valle de la Luna (Moon valley) is one of the major depression
discovery in the world, where you can see the unparalleled imprints
and the fossilised remains of ferns and dinosaurs. The Talampaya
Canyon (215,000 sq. km.) is a refuge for condors and has pre-
historic rock carvings. |
