Parque Bernardo O'Higgins (Bernardo O'Higgins Park), Mendoza

Parque Bernardo O'Higgins was established in 1903 as the part of an urban beautification project. The park was named in honor of Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme, the Chilean independence leader who, together with José de San Martín, freed Chile from Spanish rule in the Chilean War of Independence. His bust was set in 1959. The O'Higgins Park occupies 160,000 square meters of forested meadows, bordered by small ditches and old trees, perfect for walking during a sunny afternoon.
