Immense park
This is a great park in the middle of Mendoza city. As well as including historic monuments relating to Argentina's war of Independence, it's just a wonderful spot in which to have a coffee, enjoy lunch or just wander around the lake. On the edge of the park is Museo Moyano, an excellent natural history and anthropology museum.

Park for the "Liberator"
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.
