At the foot of the Andes, Mendoza is a village in the centre west of Argentina, not far from the Chilean frontier, and 1,000 km from Buenos Aires. It is the capital of Grand Mendoza region and famous for it high quality wine.
My suggestion
The town is very cultural and the atmosphere is very pleasant. You can easily stay there for a few days. The countryside around Mendoza is superb: rent a car and go explore the territory!

Argentina's fourth most populous city, Mendoza lies quite close to the Andes, along the border with Chile, and is a pleasant place at which to spend some time when visiting Argentina.
My suggestion
Be sure to visit the vineyards in the area around Mendoza: the vast majority of Argentina's best wines are produced here.

Mendoza is at the foot of the Andes, only a few hours from the frontier with Chile and is world famous for the quality of its vineyards.
My suggestion
Every year at the beginning of March Mendoza is famous for its Vendimia, or, the grape harvest festival. A really authentic festival which you shouldn't miss if you are travelling in Argentina during this period.
