The province of Mendoza is located in the Cuyo Region. It is one of the largest provinces in Argentina, bordering the country of Chile. It is one of the most important tourist centers in the country. San Rafael de Mendoza attracts national and international tourism.

If you do not know it and are planning your trip, here we will tell you what to do in Mendoza, (whether you come in summer or winter), the best excursions, where to eat, where to stay, how to get there, photos of tourists enjoying their holidays and much more.

One of the important points to keep in mind is the time of year you will be traveling. The weather in the Capital City of Mendoza changes a lot, depending on whether you come in the summer or for the winter holidays. In summer the temperature usually ranges between 28ºC and 40ºC, yes, it is very hot and there are usually heavy rains. In winter, the average temperature is 14ºC during the day and can drop to 3ºC at night. If you go up to the mountains they tend to go down quite a lot and you will have to pay attention to the weather forecast, especially in seasons of snow.

As a reference destination for receptive tourism in Argentina, the Ministry and the Secretary of Tourism of Mendoza make permanent actions to improve both the infrastructure and the tourist attractions of their towns. We recommend you to visit the official site of the "Ente de Turismo de Mendoza" from here.
