The province of Mendoza is part of all Argentine provinces that are vertically crossed by the Cordillera de Los Andes. The Principal Cordillera is the result of an early folding, with an average height of about 6500 meters. It has two distinct sectors: in the north and to the provincial Diamond Rio is characterized by a high narrow strip, which finds its highest expression in the Cerro Aconcagua 6962 m. In the southern provinces, from Diamond Rio to the South forms a wider and less high orographic belt.
