Santiago de Cuba - Bosque de los Heroes

Bosque de los Heroes sits on top of a hill near the Hotel Las Americas in Santiago de Cuba. This small park contains a large monument, commemorating Che Guevara and the men killed along with him in Bolivia. It was the first monument in honor of Che Guevara to be erected in Cuba. The monument consists of large white interlocking marble slabs with carved images of the men on each slab. Bosque de los Heroes is also quite impressive at night when the monument is lit up. The monument was erected in 1973.
