The Best of Mendoza City 🇦🇷 Empanada Feast! Argentina's Best Empanadas. Mendoza City Travel Guide

- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2019
- This we’re exploring the city of Mendoza in Argentina! To start things off we headed to the edge of town to find a great viewpoint and a monument called Monumento al Ejército de Los Andes. We walked up the top of the hill on a hot day, it’s not too difficult of a walk but can get quite hot in the sun!

Later we headed down the hill to the park called Parque General San Martin where we first visited the Fountain or the Continents or Fuente de los Continentes we also spent some time walking around the park.
We’d worked up an appetite so later we headed back to the main part of the city where we went to a restaurant that came highly recommended on Avenue Arístides Villanueva called El Palenque Aristides - here we had (more) Argentinean Malbec as well as some amazing empanadas.
Lastly we made our was the Plaza Independencia, which is in the very centre of the city and seems to be the point of reference for more directions in the city. Unfortunately the main water feature in the park was under construction when we were there.
ABOUT MENDOZA

3:06 I'm so proud of San Martín and the Andes' army. Only argentinians crossed the Andes to free Chile (chileans were already in Chile). First, not knowing the best place where to cross through the mountains, SAn Martín sent a spy which let leave the army waiting in the Andes for his return and crossed alone wherever he could. He risked his life confronting in person the spanish with some excuse for them to lead him back on the best way through the mountains to Argentina. He could have been excecuted but he manage to deceive them. Once he got the best way to cross the Andes, he lead the army through the mountains. After they conquered there, San Martín freed Perú also
.
There is even a statue of him in Central Park in New York, he was a badass
It is indeed a desert region, the reason you see so much green is those "holes" on sidewalks called acequias which are irrigation canals.
You eat empanadas with your hands! ;-) and the classic variety is with meat and onion filling.
I still say those are bad sidewalks... though your name is fancier 😉 Some say you eat Pizza with your hands too... but some don't. It still tastes the same either way - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers you know, many drunk peolpe (Mendoza is the wine land) die in the ACEQUIAS when they fall there. But in spring (when the ice of mountains thaw) the acequias are full of clean water and that's the reason of the green life in a dessert like Mendoza
One day you have to see the history of the crossing of the Andes of General San Martin, a feat that 200 years continues to be taught in military colleges around the world, to give you an idea, Napoleon crossed the Alps at 2,500 meters from altitude, Cartagines Anibal crossed the alps at a height of 3,000 meters, and General San Martin crossed the Andes mountains at a height of 5,000 meters
Hi, there! Did you know that Mendoza suffered a major earthquake in 1861 that destroyed the entire city? That is why there are 5 equidistant squares (plazas) where people must meet in case of an earthquake so that the buildings do not fall on them, the Plaza Independencia is the central meeting place in case of catastrophe. GREETINGS from La Plata, Argentina.
We knew that yes but we didn't know about the meeting points in the square. Thanks for watching - Trevor
delighted that you liked my province and have decided to visit and show your audience the beauty of this place
We're excited to explore it. Thanks so much... lots more on the way 😃 - Trevor
We would like to visit Mendoza. Is there a source for a English/Spanish speaking local guides?
Love your videos!
Thanks for bringing me back to those special memories. I'm Argentinean from Mendoza, and I live in Canada. I haven't been back home for more than 9 years now.
Saludos! Frrom Ontario, Canada
Mendoza es una provincia muy bonita y somos muy buena gente gracias x el video que se diviertan
Thanks so much for coming by and checking out the video AG - Trevor
Wonderful vlog guys!! Those empanadas OMG!!!! So delicious 😋 The park looks beautiful!! Thank you for sharing. Be careful and take care
Carmen B those empanadas were the best. We’re really liking this parks too 😀 - Anna
excelente vídeo amigos tienen que venir a Córdoba Argentina comerse un buen asado un buen plato de locro probar postres muy rico todo, sigan así !!!
Thanks for watching Nicolas. We won't make it to Cordoba on this trip but I bet it's great! - Anna
Delightful Travellers 🤗🤗😘
Chile is a tea country for the most part and Argentina and I think Uruguay like drinking mate country, a herbal tea. The rest are more coffee countries. Chile does drink coffee but it is mostly instant. You should try mate before leaving Argentina.
Argentina and Uruguay drink plenty of coffee. Mate is enjoyed more in the rural areas, many people in Buenos Aires don't drink it. I don't know why they couldn't find coffee. In Bs. As. there's a cafe every other block, maybe there aren't as many in Mendoza.
Enjoyed the video guys it was a nice escape watching different cities hope one day I will visit
Thanks Effie! Where's your next trip? 😃 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers I am going to Vietnam for a month in November 2019
Mendoza is a lovely city very close to Santiago so it was our perfect destiny for Easter or public holidays. I love this big sidewalks and trees.
We loved Santiago as well 😃 - Trevor
Buen video chicos!
Thank you! - Anna
I love Mendoza!
Us too! It's such a fun place to explore - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Yes, of course!
That was a spectacular fountain!
Right? The city is full of beautiful gems like this 😀 - Anna
Karin Kissinger that fountain I think one time a year in March, shoot wine since water is not a joke!!!
Hi guys! Very interesting vlog as always!! Very very nice and full of contents. I appreciated the editing too. Very well done. GREAT job!! Ciao. Hugs from me. ♥️ Renata
Renata thanks for your comment as always. It's always nice when people notice the edits 😀 - Anna
In Mendoza every plant you see is irrigated. Whithout the work of many people along many years, there would be no wine nor trees. The water comes from the snow in the mountains. Now many vineyards have drop irrigation (tubes that take the water near each plant, but you need a pump for the water).
San Martín crossed the Andes with 7000 soldiers, horses and mules, across two mountain ranges of the Andes, which are almost twice higher than the Alps, with no roads or any help. Napoleon invaded Italy with 30000 soldiers crossing the Alps which had roads and villages. Napoleon made a trip of 250Km with the maximum height of 2600m. Some of the troops of San Martin crossed 750m at height of 3500 or 4300m. After defeating the Spanish troops in Chile San Martin organized a naval invasion of Perú, where the main Spanish city of South America, which was Lima, was the center of the colonial power of Spain. There he met with Bolivar. But San Martín was named "Protector" of Peru. He organized the new government and the left.
Mendoza lies in a sismic region, so many old buildings were destroyed in different earthquakes.
The empanadas are eaten with your hand, using a paper napking. The traditional, orignal flavor, is the meat empanada. En each province you may find some variations in the rest of the ingredients (olives, raisings, egg, even potato) or that the meat is minced or in small pieces. The usual flavours you should in any place selling empanadas is meat, ham and cheese, chicken, ham and blue cheese, cheese and onion, humita (sweet corn in a creamy paste). And the great question: made in the oven or fried.
Los pozos son las famosas asequias de Mendoza...creanme, hacen falta en esa ciudad cuando llueve...he visto calles como rios en una tormenta moderada. Y deben estar al aire libre por la gran cantidad de agua que corre cuando llueve.
you two make any city look wonderful! great job and thanks for the editing tips; i am going to Greece in September and I thought of shooting more video than photos...this will help me!
Taki Brewer do it Taki! We love being able to look back at our videos for memories. That’s one of the main reasons we do this. Where are you going in Greece? We’re hoping to get back there soon too! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers spending most of my visit in Nea Artaki, on the island of Euboea where my family lives; then I'm spending 3 days in Athens before flying home :)
@11:30 those are called "acequias" and it is a cultural patrimony from our forefathers the Huarpes and Incas as well, they learnt how to get use of the water and that's how all the trees in the city survive, you can see acequias all over the most important citys in mendoza i would say everywhere... the water comes from the mountains and then it goes by "canales" and then acequias, you can see a big canal right next to the bus terminal, canal cacique "guaymallen" (same name of the district)
I used to play in them on our street (Mitre) when tbey were dry obviously, we would play hide and seek and go under the little "bridges" and I cracked my head open time because I stood up to soon 🤣😂
Nice vlog! Those holes on the sidewalk are meant to water the trees that lies next to them. They're called "acequias". Mendoza is a desert zone, so every tree's been planted, even those that you saw in the park.
Greetings from Mendoza!😉
Thanks for letting us know Julieta! We loved the city! 😃 - Anna
Those holes in the sidewalk make me nervous for those with walking disabilities. Argentina must not be nearly as litigious than the USA. 😉
@@meloneyparker Once you're here you'll get used to them. If you fall off, they aren't very deep.Apart from that, sidewalks are pretty big so people with disabilities can move freely.
@@julietavera1841 good to know. I certainly am a clutz! Thank you!
@@julietavera1841 good to know. Thank you!
hi from mendoza!!!!!
those holes you were referring to usually have water they are called acequias
Saludos from Buenos Aires
Id love too live here ❤
Jose de San Martin and Simon Bolivar are the two most important characters in the war against the Spaniards in South America. The beginning of the nineteenth century was a period of formation of independent states in Latin America.
We couldn't believe they marched across the mountains when we looked up. Pretty incredible Szymon! - Trevor
The highest peak of the western hemisphere is located nearby. The mountains give the defender an advantage. Now think about what Hannibal did when crossing the Alps with elephants or how fierce battles were at Monte Cassino. Let's say that after a few years spent in the mountain infantry I can say something about fighting in the mountains. Switzerland and Afghanistan are one of the worst countries to conquer. Mountains are places where empires die.
Szymon Zieliński you were in the military?
Yes, I was a soldier in Mountain Infantry for 5 years. I am also a master of history. I wrote my master's thesis about the unit that won the Monte Cassino.
Now your knowledge of pretty much everything makes sense ✌We're really hoping to get back to Poland later this year FYI - Trevor
When you come to Bs As, you should eat the best pizza in the world, you will find it on ( Avenida Corrientes, 1368 ). Guerrin. You'll be blown away by all the flavors. Also I bet you'll never find a better ice cream than the ones you'll try here! Love.
Best Pizza and Best Ice Cream...woh! We'll have to take you up on that - Trevor
Thanks for visiting our province! Cerro de la gloria is a pretty important place, It is very rich historically in case you would like to investigate a little more sometime. I do not know if you visited wineries here, there are many and the wines are exquisite(As an enology student I like to presume that we have the best Malbec wine in the world 😁). Thank you again for coming here and hope you enjoyed everything
OH yes we visited wineries.. .check out our other videos to see that ✌️ - Trevor
The canals in the sidewalks is what they call "acequias". Their purpose is to irrigate the melting snow coming down the mountains. This is how they turned a desert into a green place.
There are many "plazas" in the City because Mendoza is a sismic place. We have almost 1 or 2 earthquake up to 3.0 every month. Mostly of them are replics from earthquakes from Chile. CHEERS! Nice videos!
Hi guys! I'm glad you are here visit the Province.
I'm from Mendoza so if you need some pice of advice about where to go or what to do, don't hesitete to ask me. There's so many places you can go visit to.
Love your blog. Keep like this.
Thanks Nacho. It's a pretty great place! - Trevor
Don't know what to say. Thanks again for the escape. I think my anti-depressant is working. :-)
So glad we get to be your little escape every Sunday John - Trevor
People in Mendoza speak English in general? Is Mendoza is safe for expat ?Cost of accommodation??
You missed the best park in Mendoza, gen San Martin..
The broken road or sidewalks you kept on about are by design - called acequia. It prevents flooding in the city
The Central market is ok but you went at the wrong time.
Las Heras Street has all the shopping and cafes - which is where people go, it's not all wine and empanadas..
You missed some great little coffee shops, and the best ice cream shops on Belgrano before you get to Aristides
You missed mentioning Frances Mallmann's restaurant
You didn't talk about chacras or the mall in godoy Cruz
Nice editing, you could have showed it in a much better light
We've seen sidewalks (with drains) that prevent flooding before. None like this though. Hopefully you liked the video ✌️ - Trevor
Mendoza!!!!! La 2da montaña más alta y uno de los mejores vinos del mundo,ni hablar del parque, las plazas, acequias, etc,etc😍😍😍😍❤️🇦🇷 Gracias por el video chicos!!
Thanks for watching Daniela - Trevor
correccion, 2da fuera del Himalaya
fernando sivila Es obvio que es Himalaya la primera por eso puse 2da. No entiendo tu corrección igual Gracias
@@DanielaLopez-ok2xb en primer lugar el Himalaya es la cadena montañosa(equivalente a la cordillera de Los Andes) donde se encuentra el monte Everest(8848 msnm) cuyo pico es el mas alto del mundo, tambien el Hilalaya contiene varios picos de mas de 7000 y 8000 msnm, la otra cordillera que contiene los picos mas altos es Karakórum y aca me corrijo a mi mismo ya que dije que el Aconcagua era el pico mas alto fuera del Himalaya y deberia agregar tambien fuera del Karakórum. Es mas el Aconcagua no esta ni entre los 100 picos mas altos del mundo y todos esos picos se concentran en el continente asiatico. La afirmacion correcta seria entonces que el Aconcagua es la montaña mas alta del mundo, si no tenemos en cuenta las cordilleras del Himalaya y Karakórum. En sintesis es el pico mas alto de la cordillera de los Andes y por consiguiente de America. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Monta%C3%B1as_m%C3%A1s_altas_de_la_Tierra
A nivel mundial el Aconcagua esta en el puesto 189. Pero todas las demás están en Asia, es el mas alto fuera de ASIA.
I wanna know what is the best way to pay in Argentina, credit cards, Visa? American dollar or change there Canadian to pesos, thank you. Great videos!
Credit Card for sure. Getting money out in Argentina is tricky...so if you can exchange for Arg Pesos before you visit. We always try to use local currency - Trevor
In Buenos Aires dont miss the Colón theatre (Teatro Colon). If you can not go to a concert go to one of the english speaking tours there. Its a very beautiful theatre and a must in Buenos Aires
Pablo thanks for the tip on that. Cheers - Trevor
Hi, I’m Hudson from São Paulo, Brazil!
Guys, you should come to Brazil and pay a visit to the state of Rio Grande do Sul! There are lot of nice cities for you to explore! I’m quite sure the spots, landscapes and the cities will blow you away :)
Hudson there's a very good chance we'll end up in Brazil after BA 😃 - Anna
Delightful Travellers ♥️♥️ it sounds great! I hope u come and see what’s my country has to offer :) and I fucking love your channel :)
If you are interested, in Buenos Aires, you can try the Buquebus, which is a large hydrofoil that goes to Colonia, Uruguay. You can do it after you have visited the Buenos Aires. A common attraction is the Recoletta Cementary where you will find Evita's grave and the church Pope Francis used to be in charge of. The cafes are nice in B.A. Buenos Aires used to be called the Paris of South America. Your videos are great as always, the empanadas make me pretty hungry.
Nick Peacock we’ll be staying in Palermo actually! Well for some of our visit. BA is going to be fun 👌 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers sorry we lived in Alto Palermo, which is mostly residential. It has been ten years since we lived there. Palermo is still very nice from what I remember. I liked Buenos Aires and Argentina. Just be careful crossing the roads since cars have the right away there.
Hi there. You mentioned a quaint town outside if Mendoza near the wine country. Could you let me know what the name of the town is?
It's called Chacras de Coria 😀
beautiful parks!!! you should've sat near the lake to drink some mate and eat facturas! 😊 have you guys tried mate yet? im a new sub so i havent watched a lot
What's mate? I don't believe we've tried that Astro - Trevor
Welcome people
in Buenos Aires...you should visit the following
Palacio Barolo, Caminito, Plaza San Telmo (on Sunday)and, to have a nice meal, Pizzeria Guerrin (ask to taste faina), Parrilla Don Julio, Verne Club (speak easy bar)...just check TripAdvisor fore more info
Freddy thanks for all the tips on BA. We're definitely going to be hitting up some of those places. 😀 - Trevor
Visitaron el mirador del Aconcagua?
Our sidewalks are not broken, those artificial irrigation canals are purposely visible and they are heritage of the fact that Mendoza is a manmade oasis from the natural desertic region the city is located. They are named 'acequias', sometimes it would be great to nurture a bit more before throwing such statements just like that.
The lake is part of the irrigation system of the park . Every single tree in Mendoza depends on artificial irrigation.
Oh interesting. So good to know. Thanks for watching - Anna
Beautiful city parks, but those sidewalks...🤤 crazy and kind of hazardous!
Haha yeah those sidewalks aren’t very safe. That was one of the better strips in the video as well 😮 - Trevor
Those holes in the sidewalks (they're called "acequias" in spanish) are for a reason: to provide water for the trees. Remember that Mendoza is on a desert! without them the city wouldn't enjoy such beautiful tree planning, one of the best for any city in the country. Greetings from Argentina!
Meloney Parker the side walk have that holes because the water is tuning from there from the mountain, remember is a desert area and is full of trees, how you think is irrigated?
@@mariogiusta1265 Yes I understand. All I am saying is that it can be dangerous for people with disabilities, the blind, etc.
Meloney Parker yes that for sure!!
You guys should be encouraged to eat empanadas with their hands! This is the right way to eat them! regards
It tastes the same either way. If that's actually bothering you, reach out to the places we ate at to educate tourists. We hope you enjoyed the video Pri - Trevor
Great great video, but please remember (for the future) the empanada is not eaten with a fork, it is eaten by hand. :D
Is this safe for expat ? people speak English in general ?
It seemed safe to us. There's some english here and there yes. Mostly Spanish of course - Trevor
Those aren't holes caused by earthquakes, they are waterways called acequias which were also used as playgrounds by kids back in the day, including me 🤣😂
San Martin was the liberator of South America. He is considered one of the best generals and strategist of the world.
Hey, amigos míos!
O hay café???? 😱😱😱😱😱
Hi!!!! What?
Delightful Travellers Sorry!! NO COFFEE??? 😂😂😂😂. Just checking your vid...🙏🏻 GOD bless you, guys! Take care and keep rolling the camera! 🌴🇵🇷
@@rickyramirez3483 haha right! Forgot about the coffee. We can't let that happen again. The camera is on non stop ✌️ - Trevor
In buenos aires eat pizza at GUERRIN on corrientes avenue and eat asado at LA VACA LOCA on puerto madero. Enjoy the city.
Gustavo Caceres thanks for the tips! We’re stoked for BA! - Trevor
Hello, how are you, for when the translation into Spanish, since I do not know English and I do not have the most remote of what you are talking about, I send you a big greeting
Ir a Mendoza y no entender que una acequia no es una cloaca es no enterarse de nada !
We didn't say it was a sewer. We said be careful on sidewalks and that's a clear example on why you need to be. - Trevor
11:20 those water channels are called "acequias", they were built by the Indians hundreds of years ago to keep desert water flowing. the city hall keeps them for its historical value
R u guys will return to Santiago de Chile
Sammad Yar no we won’t be coming back on this current adventure. But we will be back again at some point 👍 - Trevor
They eat dogs in chile and beg to be known
hablen para entenderlos
Aqui no hablamos su lengua
podrian
they didn't cross the andes with horses, those look like horses , same family" but different names, they are called mulas.. and i doubt Chile joined San Martin , never heard about that ... the andes army was really small compared with the Spanish empire located in Chile.
We did had Slaves, and they fought in front , naked , for their freedom... so extra credits for the slaves from Africa.
HABLEN ESPANOL ?? PLEASE ... AQUI A NADIE LE INTERSA LO QUE USTEDES DICEN
OK
Your problem is that you went to Chile prior to Mendoza…
No les robaron :o eso es interesante
San Martin the father of Argentina, he liberated Argentina Chile and Peru, he created lead one of the biggest armies of that thime and crossed the Andes qith thousands of horses and mules, carrying from food to cannons, ok next you dont eat empanadas with nife and fork please when you are in Rome do as the romans do! Just wrapped with a napkin and take a bite! Dont cut it, what do you think they are going to poison you? Otherwise yes nice videos!!!
