Mendoza City is one of the most interesting tourist destinations in the continent. Argentina has not only one of the world's most astonishing natural landscapes, but it also holds a charismatic society to know, with Spanish and Italian ancestors mostly through many immigrants from all over the world who have found in Argentina their new home, leaving their mark in the worldwide "criolla" idiosyncrasy. Argentine people will rapidly receive tourism from around the planet and make them feel welcome instantly, such as the staff office of the HYPERLINK "http://executive.parksuites.net"Executive Hotel.

Argentine people, especially those living in the provinces are in general good people, they will do everything necessary to help those in need, they are very caring, and with a great sense of passion for their land. The Argentine has a great sense of friendship and camaraderie. People normally share with their friends and neighbors the typical mate. This is an mostly Argentine beverage, but is starting to spread in other continents of the world for its refreshing and stimulating properties. It consists of a small recipient as big as a vessel known as mate, which must be filled to 2 / 3 of its capacity with yerba mate (Ilex paraguayensis in its scientific name), a plant autochthonic to the Mesopotamian region of Argentina. Yerba mate leaves after reaped, are dried and crushed, and then sold to retail in packets of 500 gr and one kilo.

The mate is another typical constituent of Argentina. Many of them can be true works of art with "bombillas" (the straw like thing that goes inside the mate to draw the mate) stamped, sculptured, silver plated, and even inlaid with gems. This is a tube with a little filter at one end to permeate the "yerba". Mate is taken hot, without actually boiling. Some take it bitter, but it's possible to add white cane sugar to dulcify the beverage.

Cuisine in Argentina is altogether contrasting from that of other Latin American countries. Argentine people are great consumers of kettle, which they like to cook roast grilled on a wood or charcoal fire. Also local pastery is magnificent. One of Argentine delicacies is "dulce de leche", a form of caramel condensed milk, used in many sweets and pies, like the well-known "mil hojas" (translated as one thousand leaves), a puff pastry cake.

On your next vacation in the area, you must try the pleasing traditional mate. For some people it is a natural alternative for coffee, with important digestive attributes, and less stimulating. The greatest way to judge the mate is in a traditional open fireplace, ie an outside meeting around a fire that invites conversation, storytelling and gauchos. Just ask the HYPERLINK "http://executive.parksuites.net"Executive Hotel personnel and they will offer lots of data on Argentine culture.
