Cerro Alegre

Travel to Mendoza, Argentina - Mendoza Argentina
is about 700 miles northwest of the Buenos Aires. It is located on the base of
the Andes, so you can imagine that this is one of
the biggest playgrounds for outdoor exploration.
It has everything from camping to skiing to rafting.
However the downtown is much like Buenos Aires in
that the architecture is taken largely from European
heritage. But it has its own unique blend of culture
and architecture due to the indigenous influence.
Mendoza is largely a pedestrian city full of tree
line avenues and outdoor cafes, which makes it ideal
for shopping, relaxing or just people watching.
