It's located in Moreno Square, in the center of the city, and in front of the city hall (so beautiful too)
Its towers, finished in 1999, are 112 metres hihg, so it's the highest church in America.
The statue you can see in the photo is par of a fountain in the square

Villavicencio Hotel (Hotel Villavicencio)

This beautiful building is located on a natural reserve in Mendoza Province.
It was built in 1940, but closed in 1978 (because of the fucking military government). I think there is a proyect to re-open the hotel.
"Villavicencio" is also a company that bottles the water that goes into the rocks because of Aconcagua's thaws that goes out in this zone.
It's not in the highs of the Andes, it's located in the Precordillera (mountains near the Andes), so the environment of the hotel is ot full of rocks and ici like in the Andes, but also full of trees, plants and green.

El Hotel de Villavicencio no está relacionado a la embotelladora. Es un monumento para la provincia, por no decir una reliquia por su historia y apariencia en sí. Está cerrado, y sólo se cuida su fachada y su maravilloso jardín dispuesto en una colina detrás del hotel, que culmina en una capilla. Existe otro jardín, en la parte inferior del hotel, bastante grande y en forma de senderos, pero que se mantiene a duras cuestas por la naturaleza pero que no pierde su encanto. Villavicencio inspira algo, es un lugar muy especial.

El hotel tiene proyectos de ampliación y puesta en funcionamiento, pero nada oficial.

El Bolson

El Bolsón is a pretty patagonic town located in Rio Negro province, very near Bariloche.
I think the best period to visit it is in SPRING, because of the lots of beautiful trees that surround the town.
On the back of the photo, that mountain in called Piltriquitron.
I don't know why, but it makes me remind the movie "Lord of rings"

Summits of the Aconquija of Tucumán's province

The Sierra del Aconquija is the natural dividing line between the Argentine provinces of Tucuman, and Catamarca, south of passage known as El Infiernillo. Its maximum height was recorded in the glaciers of Mount Baggins (5,552 meters); Cerro de las Dos Lagunas and Los Cerrillos to 5,500 meters and the Cerro Ñuñorco.
At the peaks of the Sierras, as he said, exceeded the 5,000 m, last glacial cirques formed during the last glaciation.

En las cumbres de las sierras que, como se dijo, superan los 5.000 m, perduran circos glaciarios formados durante la última glaciación.
