San Juan is the capital city of the Argentine province of San Juan in the Cuyo region, located in the Tulúm Valey, west of the San Juan River, and at 650 m above mean sea level, with a population of around 112,000, The city of San Juan is located in a fertile valley within a rocky mountainous area. Winter temperatures are generally mild, between 1 °C and 18 °C, while summers are hot and very dry, with temperatures between 19 °C and 35 °C. Since very little rain falls in the region, the San Juan River has been dammed to provide a regular source of water to the city. The resulting reservoir is located in Ullum, and is known as the Quebrada de Ullum Dam. The dam also provides electrical power to the region.
Tourism to San Juan is centred on wine production and dégustation as well as the extraordinary rock formations in places like Ischigualasto National Park, 330 kilometres form the city, the Valle de la Luna and the Quebrada de Ullum Dam, at 18 km. Another curiosity of sorts is the Difunta Correa sanctuary, 64 km kilometres away from San Juan, on route 141. There is also the celebrated Mariano Gambier Archeology museum at La Laja, Albardón county, some 25 km from the center of the city. It concerns itself with the many cultures that inhabited San Juan from Pre-History till the arrival of the Spaniards in 1560. It has a priceless collection of Indian artifacts, cave paintings and other elements of agriculture and life in the Tulum valley for the last 8500 years.
