Mendoza tourist information
Although it is situated in an extremely dry desert region, Mendoza has an extensive artificial irrigation system, which allows for greenery throughout the city as well as the growth of the grapes used to make its famous wines. Most streets have irrigation channels on either side, with bridges for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. These are periodically flooded with water diverted from the river. The trees and the wide avenues give the city a beautiful ambience, a change from much of the bare feel of many Argentine cities.
To the immediate west is the Pre-Cordillera of the Andes towering over the city, with peeks at some of the snow-covered (througout the year) Andes peaks beyond.
Siesta (afternoon nap) is still taken in Mendoza. Most businesses close from approximately 1-5 PM, then re-open until about 8-9 PM.
