Practical Information
Transport and Mobility
To truly explore Mendoza and its surroundings, renting a car is an excellent option for flexibility and comfort. However, the province also has taxis, buses, and bicycles for shorter journeys or city exploration.
Money
The local currency is the Argentine peso (ARS). Exchange rates can fluctuate, so we recommend bringing US dollars or euros and exchanging them once in Argentina. Blinktrip can guide you on where to get the best and safest rates.

Mendoza offers unique experiences throughout the year:
-
Harvest season (February–April) is ideal for wine lovers, with festivals and vineyard celebrations.

Spring and autumn bring mild weather, perfect for outdoor activities and scenic drives.
