Mendoza

Today we decided to talk about this city because, as everybody knows, on October 12th we are going camping there for seven days.
Mendoza is a city in the west of Argentina. It is on a major road between Argentina and Chile. It is a frequent stopover for climbers heading up Aconcagua (the highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere) or for other mountaineering, hiking, horseback riding, rafting (we hope we are going to do it!), and more outdoor activities. In the winter, skiers come to the city for its easy access to the Andes .
One of the main industries of the Mendoza area is wine making.
Mendoza was founded in 1561 by Pedro del Castillo. Here, José de San Martín organized the army with which he won the independence of Chile and Peru.
In 1861 a severe earthquake destroyed the city and killed at least 5,000 people.

It has very dry summers with wetter winters.
Now that we know a little bit more about this city, we are ready to go! We hope that you find this post useful! We both think that we will have fun!
