We found a bicycle rental place close to the park and rented bicycles for 4 hours to tour around San Martin Park. Most of the time we were either on bike paths or fairly low traffic streets - a few times we had to cross major arterials but there were crosswalks so it was fine. The park is very diverse from large open spaces to stop for a picnic, play frisbee etc to very manicured and beautiful gardens. We were impressed to see many locals getting exercise by running, biking, skating, or crew rowing. We had fun stopping for an ice cream treat and taking a break to watch all the people enjoying themselves. Some areas of the park are busy and others are completely quiet. Overall a very enjoyable experience!…

We walked around the lake in this park. Criss crossed with roads. More a park accomadating roads rather than walkers. Do visit the natural history museum at the end of the lake. Good exhibits even if as we you have no Spanish.

General San Martin is known as the liberator because he helped remove the Spanish from Peru, Argentina and Chile. Montevideo has several squares you can visit on a walking tour. San Martin Square was called “Cobo” until 1904, when it took the name of San Martín in honor of the Liberator. In the middle of the square there is a bronze equestrian statue of General San Martín, which is a replica of the masterpiece by José Daumas located in the square of the same name in the Federal District. In this square there is a memorial plaque indicating the height above sea level at which the city is located: 747 meters or about 22,000 feet.…

In the peak of the summer heat in Buenos Ares this Park is a sanctuary with its peaceful grounds, cool shady trees and virtually Quite yet close to the city and action.

The irrigation system is also based on old Inca methods.…
