Introduction

General San Martín Park is Mendoza's largest urban green space, named for the liberator San Martín and laid out by landscape architect Carlos Thays, where French-style gardens meet Andean views. Its landmark is the Cerro de la Gloria monument atop the hill, whose summit overlooks the entire vineyard city; a rose garden, zoo and artificial lake round it out. As Mendoza's green heart, it is perfect for cycling, picnics and slow strolls, and a relaxing prelude before heading into wine country. Its Andean botanical garden gathers highland species, a natural classroom for Mendoza's ecology.
