Cuyo
Cuyo is a historical region of western Argentina at the foot of the Andes, made up of the provinces of Mendoza, San Juan and San Luis. Settled from Chile in the 1560s, it was governed from Santiago until 1776, when it was transferred to the new Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. As governor of Cuyo, José de San Martín raised the Army of the Andes at Mendoza in 1814–1817.
