Ciudad de Mendoza lies in the irrigated oasis of the Mendoza River, where the dry plain meets the eastern foothills of the Andes. Wide, leafy avenues and open squares define its centre, a layout shaped in part by reconstruction after the devastating earthquake of 1861. The city is Argentina’s principal wine centre, while Mendoza Province is internationally associated with Malbec and vineyards spread across the oasis. Parque General San Martín, created in the late 19th century, extends west of downtown beneath the Andean cordillera.
