palm trees and the weather in this province is so mild that they are able
to prosper here and yeah nice quiet it's a beautiful day I mean the weather
couldn't be better not a cloud in the sky not even one that's the reason why
this Mendoza province is called the province of the Sun sunshine and the
good wine great for visiting we've had great weather
so we are now visiting a top attraction monument that pays homage to the crossing of the Andes
the name is called the cerro de la gloria mount of glory mounted glory it's
a monument that was created to commemorate the army of the Andes yeah
this is the army that was created by general san martin to go across the
Andes and to fight into Chile and later on proof for the independence of these
countries from Spain yeah the minion of Spain yeah the
colonial Spain the monument has a few different like panel sections they
represent different things for instance this panel where we're standing right
now represent the first weapons manufacturers in the Argentinian soil a
priest that you see over there like her name is Trey Lewis Beltran and he was a
person in charge of the armoury and what you see here is their manufacturing
cannon and swords and spears getting ready because this was the area where
San martín assembled his army yeah Ross the end is here and AUSA so here is of
course the area where they also had to prepare all the weaponry and and
manufacture as much as they could because it was an army that was built
from scratch the Andes are right here yeah okay they cross over the mountains
and then they face the Spanish army in Chile they defeated the Spaniards in
Chile and then when northern superior Bible Oh bye see ya and then they fought
the Spaniards also in Peruvian soil and they liberated Lima and there's a lot
more symbolism as you walk around like we have lady
there's Lady Liberty breaking the chains on top you can also see Hannah de San
martín on his horse at the front of the monument and here you have a detailed
account of the forces infantry mm 795 cavalry 742 militia 1200 and miners
