My #travelgoal 2 of 23: Mendoza.
I traveled to this province, exactly to San Rafael’s city, to take an intensive course of Fruit and Vegetable Products Engineering at the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. This city is 617 miles away from my home and its landscapes are mountainous because its so close to the Andes Mountains.
During my stay, I visited three places in my spare time: Los Reyunos, Atuel’s canyon and Borges’ labyrinth.
Los Reyunos
This place is a dam feeded by the Diamante river and forms the Los Reyunos lake, that supplies drinking water to the nearby habitants. In it you can do various recreational activities.
Atuel’s canyon
This canyon is located at the mouth of the Atuel River and in it, the Valle Grande Reservoir is formed. Navigation can be done here.
Borges’ labyrinth
This labyrinth is a tribute to the writer Jorge Luis Borges, built in the farm of his friend Susana Bombal. It consists of more than 8 thousand plants of buxus. There can be read the words “Jorge Luis Borges”, among other symbols. You can appreciate them in the labyrinth’s official page. This is a very peaceful place to spend the day.
Mendoza’s province is the land of wine. Even in its airport there is a little vine plantation! During my trip I also visited several wineries and vineyards. I made the most of my stay there. A beautiful place that I would return without doubts.
Malbec. The best argentinian wine is made with this grape.
