Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa is distant 81km. from the city of Mendoza. One can get there down national route No.7 and then one must make a detour 1km. to the right from Guiñazú. The whole area is a farming oasis abounding in grapevines, fruit trees and vegetables where one can visit wineries, farms and old houses.
