Mendoza, Wine capital in Mendoza Province, Argentina.
The city stretches across the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, featuring broad avenues lined with sycamore trees and irrigation channels carrying mountain water.
Following the destructive earthquake of 1861, Mendoza was rebuilt with wider streets, additional squares, and improved urban planning to prevent future catastrophic damage.
The National Wine Festival in March brings together wine producers, folkloric performances, and traditional celebrations culminating in the crowning of the harvest queen.
Visitors can reach numerous wineries in Luján de Cuyo, Valle de Uco, and Maipu regions through organized tours departing from the city center.
The complex irrigation system of exposed stone channels dates from indigenous Huarpe people and maintains over 100,000 trees throughout the city streets.
