Things to do in El Plumerillo Airport
Mendoza is South America's wine capital — 1,500m above sea level in the Andes foothills, with an ideal climate producing Malbec that rivals the world's finest. The Maipú and Luján de Cuyo wine valleys are 20–40 minutes from the city and offer cellar-door tastings at world-class bodegas like Zuccardi, Achaval Ferrer, and Catena Zapata. The snow-capped Andes form a constant backdrop, and Aconcagua (highest peak in the Americas at 6,961m) is about 180 km west.
