This was the first climb of my past bikepacking trip through the Andes. Arriving in Mendoza on a Sunday morning, I found a completely dead city; there wasn't a soul on the streets.

This was the first climb of my past bikepacking trip through the Andes. Arriving in Mendoza on a Sunday morning, I found a completely dead city; there wasn't a soul on the streets. Once I decided to bike up Cerro de la Gloria and the connecting Parque San Martín as a warm-up for the real work later in the week, I found out where everyone was. People were enjoying recreation on the mountain and in the park: hiking, running, biking or just picnicking. It gave the mountain a wonderful vibe to bike up.

The climb itself is not very difficult and the views of Mendoza were a bit disappointing. The views of the high Andean peaks on the other side were very nice though. All in all, a nice mountain to cycle up on Sunday afternoons or do some interval training on.

At the top of the climb is the Monumento al Ejército de Los Andes, honoring the Army of the Andes that crossed the Andes in 1817 to end Spanish rule in South America and help gain independence from countries such as Chile and Peru. This monument was very popular for tourists to take a picture of.

Dit was de eerste klim van mijn afgelopen bikepackingtrip door de Andes. Aangekomen in Mendoza op een zondagochtend trof ik een compleet dode stad aan; er was geen ziel op straat te bekennen. Eenmaal besloten om de Cerro de la Gloria en het aansluitende Parque San Martín eens op te fietsen als warming-up voor het echte werk later in de week, bleek waar iedereen was. Men was lekker aan het recreëren op de berg en in het park: wandelen, hardlopen, fietsen of gewoon lekker picknicken. Het gaf de berg een heerlijke vibe om op te fietsen.

De klim zelf is niet heel lastig en de uitzichten over Mendoza vielen wat tegen. De uitzichten op de hoge Andestoppen aan de andere kant waren wel zeer fraai. Al met al een fijne berg om zondagsmiddags eens op te fietsen of wat intervaltraining op te doen.

Op de top van de klim staat het ‘Monumento al Ejército de Los Andes’, ter ere van het Leger van de Andes dat in 1817 de Andes overstak om de Spaanse heerschappij in Zuid-Amerika te beëindigen en de onafhankelijkheid van landen zoals Chili en Peru te helpen behalen. Dit monument was zeer in trek bij toeristen om een fototje van te schieten.
