The Capital city of the province with the same name, San Juan was founded in 1562 and rebuilt after an earthquake in 1944.

The Cathedral, located next to the 25 de Mayo Square, allows visitors to climb its bell-tower to get great views of the city's layout. Other places worth visiting in town are Domingo Sarmiento's birthplace, Historic Museum, the Nature Science Museum, the Park and the Auditorio Juan Victoria (Concert Hall), considered to be one of the most important halls in South America.  20 km from town (accessible by bus No 29), you can visit the Ullúm Lake where you can relax, practice some water sports, swim, go for a walk or even dive down from cliffs!!.

San Juan also stands out for its renowned world class wines and a wine tour is a must! Santiago Graffigna has a Wine Museum which is free and near downtown. Another interesting option is the Cavas de Zonda (24 km from town on bus No 23), considered being the only champagne cellar in South America whose ceiling is the mountain itself.

All these extraordinary sites combined with a dry climate, clean fresh air and sunny skies make San Juan a dream-like place for a wide range of adventures!
