San Rafael: a City Worth Seeing and Enjoying

San Rafael: a City Worth Seeing and Enjoying

During your stay at the Mendoza's 5 Stars Hotel, there are lots of sites to see and visit. Just a few hours away from the capital city, you can travel to San Rafael, one of the most attractive towns in Cuyo region.

San Rafael was founded on April 2, 1805, by order of the Viceroy Rafael de Sobremonte. The hard work of a group of colonists led to the arrival of the railway in 1903, encouraging the evolution of the town. The French colony was named after the capital of the department and moved to its current position in the city.

Inthis town, there are fisty wineries, which produce fine, regular and sparkling wines, besides concentrated grape juice, both for home use and export. The main varieties are Malbec wine, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chenin. San Rafael makes an annual average of 670,000 hectoliters of wine.

San Rafael has a cultivated area of 50,000 hectares, distributed among vineyards, plantations, vegetables, forage and forestry. A very important fact is that 60% of crops are protected with a mesh to keep them safe from hail.

Olive growing is also very important. Its average production is 2,300 tons for canned olives and olive oil production. The canning industry completes the circuit of farming production with establishments which manufacture traditional canned tomatoes, peppers, peaches, pears, fruit salad and non-traditional products such as sauces, asparagus, corn and peas. Basically, San Rafael is a major producer of high quality raw materials, mainly due to the splendid climatic and soil circumstances. Thus, investment agreements and cooperation in the agro sector give the department a great economic potential.

The breathtaking scenery of this area and its tourism infrastructure make San Rafael one of the most desired places in our country. Its full name is San Rafael del Diamante, because the first fortress was located on the left bank of the Diamante River (Diamond River). It has 180,000 hectares, an area of 31,235 square kilometers.

Its central activities are based on wine making, tourism, production of vines and fruit trees. There are four hydroelectric plants, which connected to the national network supply the north and center of the country. If you travel from Mendoza, from your 5 Stars Hotel, you will have the opportunity to enjoy lovely sights, such as the Valle Grande, the Atuel Canyon, the Nihuil and the Reyunos, Agua del Toro and the Galileo Vitale Dam, among others.
