Tourist Guide Cuyo
Cuyo, a central-west region in Argentina, has an area of 404, 906 sq km and a total population of nearly 3 million.
Cuyo spreads over the provinces of Mendoza, San Luis, San Juan and La Rioja. The topography is varied, comprising a semi-desert and mountainous terrain. The continental climate provides an excellent environment for Cuyo’s best product, wine; in fact, it is often referred to as the wine-making region of Argentina.
The culture of the land has been greatly influenced by the immigrant (mostly European) population. These immigrants brought in their own culture which gradually overcame the pre-Columbian society of the indigenous population. Jews and Anglo-Argentinean communities as well as the Germans, Irish and natives of neighbouring nations can be found in small parts of the country.
