Village in Mendoza, Argentina
Uspallata is a village and the administrative region of Argentina, in a scenic location on the road that crosses the Andes between Mendoza and Santiago in Chile. It is located 100 km (62 mi) west of Mendoza and was once served by the now defunct Transandine Railway that passed through the city on the road from Mendoza to Los Andes in Chile. There are several points of interest in and around the village, including "las Bovedas," something strange egg-shaped kilns dating from the early 17th century that was used to extract gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals from minerals mined nearby. Worth a short visit because they are only about 1.5 km (1 mi) from the city, complete with a small museum, notes include the fact that some of the refractory bricks can still be seen with "Rufford Stourbridge" from the English West Midlands stamped on them; a brief reminder of Britain's industrial heritage. The road to the Chilean border contains some of the most dramatic landscapes in the region, the Andean mountains in this part is a part of the background of the highest peak of the Andes, Aconcagua, at nearly 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) above sea level. There is a brief glimpse of the stunning mountain from the road a piece from another point of interest, an ocher bridge over the Mendoza River 72 kilometers (45 miles) from Uspallata that seems to have been made of sulfur-bearing hot springs. Uspallata Uspallata served by the airport. .... Learn more at Wikipedia
