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.

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

I recommend taking the $30 pesos bus/van tour that takes the visitor of Mendoza inside the main & biggest park inside the city, the one that allows such a dry, desertic city some shade & fresh, clean air. The Hill of Glory (Cerro de la Gloria) is the one stop during the short tour where you get a chance to see a panoramic view of the city & during this 50 min tour (in Spanish) you get to learn about the park & its foundation, as well as some aspects of history. The park is so huge that it cannot be walked completely on foot.

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.

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!

It is a great place if you want to have some spectacular panoramic view of Mendoza and the area, of course if the weather permits.

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.

As other visitors already said it is easy to get there with the hop on and hop off bus. The monument is impressive and gives you some insights in history and how people in Argentina experienced these occurences.

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

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!!!!
