Godoy Cruz

A large area south of downtown, Godoy Cruz offers lively nightlife ranging from tango nights and rustic pulpería taverns to chic vineyard bars and restaurants. Palmares Open Mall is a stylish complex with fashion boutiques and gelato parlors. Regular meetings draw fans to Mendoza Racecourse, a dirt track oval, and riding trails lead into the wild terrain of El Piedemonte. Potrerillos Dam is popular for fishing.
