Answer 3

Assuming you are planning your trip to Mendoza because of it being the wine producing region of Argentina, you will be greatly appreciative of this location. It is much like the Napa Valley in California as you will see from the vineyards and how they are laid out. Many small wineries dot the countryside where you can stop and enjoy a selection of their vintners. Also, you can enjoy a sumptous lunch at some wineries if you plan ahead. Many excursions are available at reasonable prices. Argentina is becoming a world leader in production of excellent wines and you will be pleasantly surprised at their reasonable prices. I am from the Napa Valley and spend considerable time in Mendoza because it reminds me of home.
