Mountain Bike, visitando bodegas en Mendoza!!
by maqui
LA actividad fué Mountain Bike por Bodegas de día completo. Lo hice con la agencia de turismo Kahuak, a la cual debo agradecer por su excelente servicio.
Nos pasaron a buscara a aprtir de la 9:30am por nuestro hostel y fuimos a Chacras de Coria un pueblo muy pintoresco y tranquilo, allí salimos con las bicis a recorrer las bodegas. Visitamos 2 bodegas por la mañana, muy lindas y cada una con una característica particular, lo que nos permitía diferenciar el tipo de producción de cada una.
Luego fuimos a almorzar a una Cava llamada Cava de Cano, el almuerzo fué muy suculento y excelente, de muy buen nivel y nos atendieron de primera....
Luego finalizamos el recorrido con una bodega muy chiquita cerca del lugar donde comimos.
La verdad que una experiencia inolvidable... es necesario llevar pantalones largos, lentes de sol y protector solar.
Además para la comodidad de cada uno sería bueno llevar un bolso o mochila donde podemos llevar camaras de fotos, etc.

Parque San Martin - the biggest park of the city
by Trekki
Mendoza is a green city, having trees lining most of the streets.
In addition, it offers many parks to rest, the biggest one being Paque José Francisco San Martin.
It was designed in 1897 by Carlos Thays and with it's 420 hectars is the home of around 50.000 trees, a big lake, a rose garden and several sports centers (tennis, regatta, football, etc).
There is a zoo, and of course, famous Cerro de la Gloria - with the monument to the army of San Martin, the south american hero from Argentina.
The picture has been taken at the lake, with a fantastic view to the precordillera (up to 3000 m high mountains).
Villavicencio
by trvlrtom
Villavicencio is an old resort spa located in an ecologically preserved area about 50 km north of Mendoza. Although the resort has been unused for the past 30 years, the grounds still have the famous termal waters, several garden paths and the old chapel. The drive here is very pretty: from Mendoza it takes you up the foothills of the Andes along the old international road to Chile.
