Mendoza Province, Administrative region at Andes foothills, Argentina
The Mendoza Province stretches across 148,827 square kilometers of western Argentina, from Mount Aconcagua to the eastern semi-flat lands with numerous rivers.
Spanish colonists from Chile established the province in 1561, later separating from Chilean control in 1776 to join the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata.
The annual Fiesta Nacional de la Vendimia celebrates grape harvests with traditional performances, bringing together representatives from different departments across the province.
The province maintains extensive irrigation systems that support agricultural production, particularly benefiting the wine industry which produces 70% of Argentina's total output.
Mount Aconcagua, located in the northwest corner of Mendoza Province, stands as the highest peak in both North and South America at 6,959 meters.
