Mendoza

Mendoza is a city in the west of Argentina, and the capital of the Mendoza Province. Founded in 1561, at an altitude of 760m, the provincial capital is a lively and attractive university city of almost a million inhabitants.It is the fourth largest city of Argentina and is on a major link between Argentina and Chile. Mendoza is 1,040 kilometres from Buenos Aires and 380 kilometres from Santiago, Chile.

It is a frequent stopover for climbers heading up Aconcagua or for other mountaineering, hiking, horseback riding, rafting, and outdoor activities. In the winter, skiers come to the city for its easy access to the Andes.The main industries of the Mendoza area are wine making and olive oil production.The grape harvest is marked each year by the Vendimia festival, taking place in early March, in which 17 beauty queens (one for each provincial departament) are nominated, and one winner is selected by a panel of about 50 judges
