🚕 Getting around Mendoza
El Plumerillo Airport (MDZ) is about 10 km from the center, just a 15–20 minute drive; taxis, remises and transfers are the most practical. The leafy, plaza-filled city is walkable, but to reach the wineries of Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley a tour, remís or rental car works best.
🏨 Where to stay in Mendoza
- Centro / Plaza Independencia — The heart of the city, with plazas, the Sarmiento pedestrian street, hotels and restaurants.
- Maipú — Nearby wine area, ideal for touring wineries by bike and tasting Malbec.
- Luján de Cuyo — Region of high-end wineries, the cradle of Malbec, at the foot of the mountains.
- Valle de Uco — High-altitude valley 1–1.5 h away, with the most modern wineries and Andes views.
💸 How much does it cost?
Mendoza offers good value; with mid-range lodging, meals and the odd winery tour, budget around 40–75 USD a day. Thanks to Argentina’s inflation and the “blue dollar,” carrying US cash goes a lot further.
🛡️ Is it safe?
Mendoza is a calm, safe city for travelers; precautions are the usual ones against theft in busy areas, and if you tour wineries by bike or car, don’t drive after tasting wine.
