“Interested in Latin American history? Go see the Cerro de la Gloria.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 21, 2012 NEW

In a town like Mendoza where, frankly, there are limited 'touristic' opportunities, I recommend hiring a taxi for an hour or so, and going through the San Martin Park up to the Cerro de la Gloria monument. Apart from being a spectacular piece of sculpture, this is an icon of Latin American history, commemorating the great treck by San Martin´s... More

“It was awful!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2012

We went to the Parque hoping to walk up to the Cerro de la Gloria on footpaths to get some exercise and enjoy the view. We stopped for coffee at the entrance off Av del Liberador and tried to visit the tourist office but it was closed, which seemed odd on a Wednesday morning. We used our city map but... More

“Beautiful park in which to spend some time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2012

I was with my 22 year old son when I visited Mendoza. He had traveled long and hard to join me on my four month journey. He wanted to sleep in one morning and so I went to the park alone. It was a Sunday and the park was filled with local people enjoying the day off. There was a... More

“A wonderful park in Mendoza”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 6, 2012

The Parque General San Martin is huge and lovely to visit. I first saw it when I walked to the stadium to see a soccer match this past Wednesday night. There were many people walking, running, and hiking in this park. I believe it is a good place to visit when you are in Mendoza. More

“A gem in Mendoza”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2012

After Mendoza was destroyed by the 1861 earthquake, they rebuilt the city and included plans for Parque San Martin. This large park has a lake, golf course, a sports club, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, and lots of shady open space for picnics, jogging or anything else. The park was designed to provide a safe space for people to go if... More
