Wine lovers will undoubtedly have heard about Mendoza, because this is the famous wine region of Argentina. You can find more than 1,000 excellent bodegas (wineries) here, in many of them you can overnight as well. Mendoza itself is also scenic and beautiful, but most people come here to experience the wine country. The city, located at the foot of the Andes mountains, was destroyed by the earthquake of 1861, but has been rebuilt and during the reconstruction extra attention was paid to decorations such as tiles, murals, statues and fountains. This gives the city a beautiful atmosphere.
