 7 Reviews  This park is the biggest and most beautiful of Mendoza. It was designed by french architect Carlos Thays, and opened in 1906 (although its origins go back to 1896). The park has beautiful streets and avenues surrounded by hundreds of species of plants and trees. Inside the park there are several...

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... 

 6 Reviews  Why? For a variety of reasons. To get away from the noise and pollution of the city streets primarily. They aren't particularly beautiful because they aren't being maintained properly and the citizens dump there trash wherever they go but they are green with lots of very mature trees and the... 

 2 Reviews  I visited the museum of Modern Arts at plaza Independecia one evening on my way to find a good restaurant at Sarmiento avenue. It was a good break for me although I didn’t spend much time here because of its small size. The painting collection I saw was interesting and usually the museum holds... 

 3 Reviews  Once we were finished with the Winery tour, our guide and the van driver took us back into Mendoza where we began our city tour in the bright 11 AM sunshine. First up were the ruins of the San Francisco church, all that remains of the original colonial architecture of 'Old' Mendoza. Dating back to...

 2 Reviews  Las Lenas is around 7 hours away by bus from Mendoza and Penitentes around 3. Las Lenas is a lot bigger with modern skilifts and a snowboard park with rails, ramps and jumps. It is quite a drive from Mendoza so you would have to stay there for at least a couple a days to take full advantage of the... 

 4 Reviews  Of the several plazas in Mendoza, Plaza de Espana stands out for its beautiful azulejos (tiles). There is also an open air crafts market where you can buy things like carved wood items, jewelry, some textiles etc. (there's also a similar market in Plaza de Independencia). Near the plaza there is an... 

 2 Reviews  I didn't know about The San Martin's Historical Museum and to be honest I was tired of him after seeing so many squares, statues, and streets with his name :) After a short walking at San Martin avenue (you see?) I saw the Alameda, a promenade with some nice trees and statues and close by was the... 

 2 Reviews  This museum is the Historical Museum of Mendoza. It is open Monday-Friday 9:00-13:00 and it’s located in an old house of Italian style that was built in 1873. I found its collection kind of boring but I would found any museum boring after the amazing sceneries I've seen up on the mountains of the...
