Mendoza

The best time to visit Mendoza is from March to May or from September to November when the temperatures are milder and the vineyards are at their most picturesque.

Some of the top attractions in Mendoza include the Andes Mountains, Aconcagua Provincial Park, Plaza Independencia, and the many wineries in the surrounding area.

The currency used in Mendoza and the rest of Argentina is the Argentine peso (ARS).

Mendoza is generally considered a safe destination for tourists. However, it is recommended to take precautions against petty theft and to be aware of your surroundings especially when travelling in crowded areas.

Mendoza is known for its meat dishes, particularly beef, and its empanadas. Visitors can also try regional dishes such as locro (a stew made with corn and meat), humita (a type of tamale), and dulce de leche (a sweet milk-based dessert).
