Mendoza Province... A paradise for outdoor living, recreation and adventure


The province of Mendoza is located in the central west of Argentina, by the Andes range (a geologically young system uplifted in the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods), and pretty close to Chile.
Its capital bears the same name and was founded in 1560 by Pedro del Castillo.

The region payed an important role in the war of independence against Spain. It was here that general Jose de San Martin recruited and trained the army that gave freedom to Chile and Peru as well.

Mendoza is synonimous of peace and welfare, excellents wines and the friendliest of people. A paradise for outdoor living, recreation and adventure.
