Parque Pino
Location:
Jiron de Independencia y Jiron Alfonso Ugarte
Puno, Peru
City Plaza
Parque Pino (Pino Park) is connected to the the larger Plaza de Armas of Puno by a walkway. It was built in 1901 seven years after Peru’s decisive victory over Chile in honor of the local "puneño," Dr. Manuel Pino, who emerged as the hero of the war. A statue of the doctor stands atop a column in the center of the park, and busts of other notable Puno "puneños" who partook in this campaign can be found below. One side of the park is taken up by the "Glorious National College of San Carlos," founded by the "liberator" of South America, Simon Bolivar.
Getting There
Walk four blocks north on Jiron de Independencia from the Plaza de Armas
