Walking tour of Mendoza City

Walking tour of Mendoza City

In this exclusive walking tour we will get to know the most outstanding sites of the city at a relaxed pace. We will walk through tree-lined streets and charming sidewalks that will take us to incredible places. 

Located at the foot of the Andes, Mendoza is characterized by its history, its relationship with wine and its cultural heritage. It has safe and alternative circuits to enjoy sustainable tourism.

We will pick you up at your accommodation and walk to Independence Square. Under the great provincial coat of arms, we will meet to begin this wonderful tour. Our expert guide will be in charge of accompanying us and showing us around the city. He will explain the way through which we will understand the history and get to know the local attractions step by step.

The first destination will be the Independence Square, the main square of the Capital. Then we will visit the 4 squares that surround it and get to know the most representative buildings. Then we will get lost among the aromas and regional flavors of the historic Central Market. In each place you will be able to take the necessary time to take pictures and explore the surroundings. 

Then we will start walking towards the green lung of the city, the San Martin Park. We will walk up Emilio Civit Street, one of the most exclusive residential areas of downtown, and when we reach the classic gates we will be amazed by their beauty and the lush vegetation that surrounds them. We will walk through the streets of the park and get to know the most representative sculptures. We will fall in love with the Paseo El Rosedal and walk around the lake enjoying the fountains that hypnotize travelers. We will also learn about the history of General San Martin, his exploits and his relationship with our land.

After hydrating ourselves, we will start our way back to the downtown area. On the way back we will stop to rest in a typical ice cream shop in Mendoza, or in a locally renowned coffee shop, depending on the time of the year. After recharging our batteries, we will continue walking back to our hotel to say goodbye with our feet full of anecdotes and new experiences. 

With this tour you will feel like a local inhabitant and enjoy the tranquility of the Mendoza air.
