the hill of glory (cerro de la gloria)印象

This was a stop on the hop on, hop off open top bus, which was a mistake in the first place. If you want to see this site, do it on your own, don't be persuaded to do the open bus. We couldn't understand what it was all about (no English translation) but assumed it was a monument to the glorious war dead. The park itself is probably worth a visit, depending on how much time you've got, but this monument certainly didn't turn us on. Probably because we didn't really know what all the hype was about.

Very nice tribute to a very special person to the people of Mendoza. I took the double decker bus from the Hyatt and it was only 45 pesos. My guide only spoke Spanish but I still enjoyed the trip very much.

Visited the hill as part of the hop on - hop off bus tour. Nothing mush to say about it to be honest.

Great place to roam, get some exercise and enjoy the sunshine. Next time, I may even bring a picnic lunch!

We took the Oro Negro bus from Independence Plaza. This was a city tour as well as a trip to this high point.The tour guide did both Spanish and English for us.This is a 14 ton bronze monument paying tribute to the Army that liberated Chili, Argentina and Peru.What is really amazing is they ever got it up there. The views of the city are amazing from there. Note there is a sign that says "do not climb the monument which seems would be without saying.It is also walkable as noted.

A great visit to a monument that depicts in detail the historical era of a great hero, Gral. San Martin. A flock of condors fly around and guard the monument in a very majestic way. Amazing experience!!!!

Based in the surrounding of the city, this is an elevated hill and from the top you can see a good overview of the city.

I have been here twice, but not sure why. The double decker bus stops here. All there is to do is see a monument and climb the hill. All the interesting vendors are gone. However, there are great city views. The drought has really ruined the landscape and parks.

This small hill is on the edge of town and you can either climb it on foot or use the city tour bus to do most of the climb for you (hop off enjoy the views and catch the next bus an hour later).The views of the city are not particularly impressive, but it does give you an idea of how things relate to each other and the Andes Mountain range behind.The hill's main claim to fame is the monument to the Army of the Andes which crossed the Andes into Chile in 1817 and successfully fought the Royalists at Chacabuco. The crossing took 25 days and General San Martin lost around 1/3 of his force on the way. After several further battles, the royalists were cleared from Chile and the army then went on to liberate Peru. The monument is impressive, but not worth walking up all the way from the bottom, so take the bus!

After exhausting everything to see in Mendoza we went and had a look at the park and this monument. It was hardly worth the $20usd return taxi trip from our apartment. Nothing really around, most of the views are blocked by massive trees surrounding the monument. Don't even bother!
