Our Tour:

The trip starts in Peatonal Sarmiento. Our city is divided into two because of its historical background. Mendoza city was founded by Capitan Pedro del Castillo, March 2nd of 1561. It is located at 750 m above sea level, right next to the Andes mountain range.

When the Spanish conquerors arrived they found this place inhabited by different groups of aborigens: Incas, Huarpes and Pehuelches. The main group was the Huarpe population, they were peaceful, hard working people that had their location in a place called Huentota, which is now the city of Mendoza.

The most important Huarpe legacy was their ingenious and organized irrigation system which is the same one we use these days. They brought the water from the rivers through canals to their crops of corn, beans, pumpkins and quinoa.

This was the way in which the Huarpes turned a deserted area, Cuyum Mapu (land of sands) into the oasis   it is today.
