Mendoza City tour with visit to General San Martin Park

About this experience

Explore Mendoza, one of the most dazzling cities in Argentina, on a tour that will take you through its most emblematic corners full of history. We will begin in the old city, where the history of Mendoza came to life in 1561. You will feel how the past mixes with the present as we walk along the historic Alameda promenade. Here, you will enjoy a stroll through the charming squares and main streets, such as the majestic Plaza Independencia and the picturesque Emilio Civit Street, which will transport you to the essence of this unique city. Our tour continues towards the General San Martín Park, a true green lung and pride of Mendoza. From there, we will ascend to the imposing Cerro de la Gloria, where you will be amazed by the monumental tribute to General San Martín. Before returning to the heart of the city, we will stop at the Malvinas Argentinas Stadium, the scene of historical events, and the Frank Romero Day Greek Amphitheater, home of the dazzling National Harvest Festival.

Things to do in Cuyo

Guide

  • The snow-streaked summit of Aconcagua rising above a dry Andean valley

    Guide

    Aconcagua, and what it takes to walk in

    At 6,961 m it is the highest mountain outside Asia, and most people who see it do so from a car park on Ruta 7. The trek to Confluencia and Plaza de Mulas is the honest middle ground.

  • Route 7 running west out of Uspallata between bare Andean ridges

    Guide

    The Alta Montaña road, Mendoza to the border

    Route 7 west out of Mendoza climbs 3,000 metres to the Chilean border past Potrerillos, Uspallata, Puente del Inca and the Aconcagua lookout. What to stop for, and what the day actually costs you.
