Day 6
February 11, 2014
Today, we decide to add on a city tour of Mendoza with our guide, Anna, before flying this afternoon to Salta. We see 3 of the incredible plazas here and end up at the Hiatt Hotel on a street with many shops and cafes.
Mendoza: This enormous city features trees and canals to keep them watered. Located in the desert to the east of the Andes, it boasts a luscious central park and rows of cool tree lined boulevards with statues and plazas.
Five plazas are situated in a five dice pattern – one central and four on the outskirts. We get to two of them today, including the beautiful central square. In addition, there is a large park with a large pond – near a stunning sculpture that is a water feature here in the desert.
Anna also has us stop the van at a viewpoint over the city. She is particularly proud of the enormous sculpture here that represents the fight for independence and freedom of the peoples of Mendoza and Argentina.
Actually, Mendoza is not much to look at from a distance!!
Flight to Salta. We check in to the Hotel Legato Mitico
