Fun things to do in Maipu: 15 fun attractions and activities

It's a beautiful city park where lots of people come to watch colorful light shows, ever changing fountain, listen to moody music, and have fun otherwise. Salud to the beautiful city Mendoza.

I really liked this park. It's very calming. Walking around the park is relaxing, and there are flowers, people paddling and other things to watch. The park is taken care of.

Besides wineyards, this historical museum deserves to be visited.

Tempus Alba is a gorgeous and sophisticated vineyard, definitely worth a visit if you're touring the Mendoza wine region. They have crafted an environment that is perfect for sampling their delicious wines! The degustation provides you with your choice of three of six reserve varieties offered by the winery. I chose to try their Merlot, Syrah and Tempranillo and was thoroughly impressed with all three, but would especially recommend the Syrah! The self-guided tour of the facility is short and simple but informative about the approach Tempus Alba takes to their production process. There is a separate route to walk or cycle the vineyards, which is another short but pleasant way to experience their vineyard and olive plantation!

Beautiful, peaceful, very neat. Came during the week on an afternoon, and it was awesome. Good job Mendoza keep the good work.

We arrived around 1:30 pm and went into the store area and asked about lunch and a tour. We got the usual Mendoza "We have check to see if there is space.....the next tour is at 3pm, Spanish or English, and again at 4." "Do we have enough time for lunch?" "Oh. Sure, and the 4pm tour." We went upstairs to the restaurant and again got the Mendoza standard "We have check to see if there is space....." After she checked the computer, "Please take any of the (30 or 40) open tables." We elected to avoid the 3 tables in use, and went to the lobby like area where the Muzak was not so loud. My wife ordered a tortellini with mixed sauce (cream and tomato), and I ordered the skirt steak. We also ordered beef empanada appetizers, Coke zero and sparkling water. The empanada came quite quickly and they were good, very good. Crispy, dry dough, with finely diced beef in a rich brown sauce within. The tortellini came soon thereafter, and it was quite good too. Then came my calf skirt steak. Smaller, calf sized, I suppose. I immediately cut into it about 1 inch from one end. Medium rare. I moved an inch closer to the center and cut again.... oh, yeah, rare, Red, bloody red! Not Mendoza "Blue" , but that would probably inappropriate or impossible for this cut of meat. The skirt steak was tender, juicy, flavourful, thoroughly seared on the outside, delicious on the inside. This was definitely the best steak we have had in Mendoza, and the best steak we have had in 12 to 18 months including bistec a la Fiorentina in Firenze. We had requested glasses of their recommended wines with each dish, but we had to remind them halfway through the meal. The chardonnay was ok. But remarkable for its body, perhaps overchilled and thus bland. The malbec was also somewhat chilled, light with lots of middling tanins. Neither wine was a stand out and I would have chosen a drier slightly acid chardonnay and a bolder, heavier red. My wife ordered an apple crumble pie with ice cream that looked nothing like the crumble pies I am accustomed to, but she loved it and said the berry ice cream was delicious. Overall, an excellent meal. With a wonderful waitress. We took the 3 pm tour. The tour guide was a unconcerned and uncaring sort, mechanically rattling off his spiel to cattle in a cattle car. His guidance on wine tasting was often off the mark, but probably suitable for 'tourists' who are not gourmands. The wine tour was only $21 USD for 2, OTOH $21 for 2 persons is way better than the $160 to $400 USD further south from Mendoza. Restaurant : Ambience - 5 stars modernish with strong historical ties Service - 4.9 stars, excellent with a lapse or two Food - 5 stars. Bodegas Lopez highly RECOMMENDED.

The most wholesome experience with an English speaking guide who was very professional and good at her job while making us feel so comfortable. We learned a lot and even stayed for the 4 course lunch which was exceptional! The service and food paired with the wine was the best experience we’ve had in Mendoza!!

Beautiful little plaza perfect for relaxing time with friends, children...

Viña El Cerno offers a charming and authentic insight into an organic vineyard. Perhaps most telling is the sign near the entrance asking that you not intrude into the family home! They offered a three-wine tasting comprising a Rosé (made from Malbec grapes), a blended Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon and an 18-month barrel-aged Malbec. Each was lovely in its own way, but I especially enjoyed the Rosé and aged Malbec. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and did an excellent job of explaining what to expect from each wine. Well worth a visit!

Not the best looking or cleanest plaza in Mendoza but it has a nature feel to it, dog friendly you can let you dog run around and other dogs are usually there, the plaza has a fountain in the middle in special occasions they dye the fountain colors there you can also see some people taking showers from time to time, there is a statue of San Martín y O'Higgins and is to due with friendship. They also celebrate the Chilean Independence Day I think is September 18

We came rafting here in November and the weather was perfect! If you are looking for huge class 5 or 6 rapids and more hardcore rafting this is not the place - at least not in November… if you like some decent rapids but nothing dangerous this is the perfect river - also perfect for a first timer! The views of the mountains as you raft are incredible! They also have guides for primary English speakers and they are very accommodating. Our guide was fantastic, super knowledgeable and friendly. The safety issues were addressed and taken seriously. All gear needed was provided. They have a cute restaurant overlooking the river with good casual food and a nice beer/wine selection - this was perfect after a day on the river! I highly recommend this if you are spending any time in or near Mendoza…

Great adventure spot! Guides were all very kind and helpful. We went on a trip organized with our hostel, Vi&Vi hostel, and had a GREAT time on the river rafting and zip lining. Food/drinks on site for easy meals between activities.

We had the most wonderful day cycling in Mendoza with Sergio. We were collected at our hotel and we drove about 30 mins into wine country before cycling through the beautiful Mendozian scenery. We stopped at the Budeguer winery for a fantastic tour and tasting (run expertly by Maurco) and continued afterwards to the Piatelli winery for a delicious four course lunch with matched wines. We cannot recommend Sergio enough as a tour guide - knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and with great taste in music for the drive back!

We booked a last minute fly fishing trip in Mendoza and had a great time with Guillermo. Sergio drove us and was very friendly and professional too. Guillermo was super knowledgeable, and it was a great introduction for us to fly fishing (we are total beginners). Lunch at the Quebrada del Condor was delicious and a great way to end the trip. Pickup and drop off was easy and prompt. A great way to see some more of the beauty of Mendoza outside of the wineries. Thank you for the great trip!
