San Rafael, Agricultural center in Mendoza Province, Argentina
The city stretches along the Diamante River at the eastern base of the Andes Mountains, surrounded by vineyards and fruit orchards at 650 meters elevation.
The construction of Fort San Rafael del Diamante in 1805 established the southern boundary of European settlements, marking the beginning of the city's development.
The local food processing industries, including wineries, canneries, and dairies, shape the regional gastronomy and economic activities of the 118,000 residents.
Several transportation options connect the city to Buenos Aires, located 990 kilometers away, with regular services through the regional airport and highway network.
The Nihuiles Hydroelectric Dam generates 1000 MWh annually while creating a reservoir that supports both power generation and recreational activities.
