Le monument Bernardo-O'Higgins a été installé le vendredi 31 août 2007 au parc de l'Amérique-Latine. Il fait face au monument Simon-Bolivar.

Don du Chili au Québec, cette statue équestre représente Don Bernardo O'Higgins. Héros de l'indépendance chilienne, il a vécu de 1778 à 1842. Homme politique et chef militaire, il a occupé le poste de « directeur suprême » du pays de 1817 à 1823. Sous sa direction, en 1818 – année de la victoire qui chasse les Espagnols du sud du pays – le Chili proclame son indépendance.
Parmi les réalisations de Bernardo O'Higgins, mentionnons l'instauration d'une marine chilienne et l'établissement de relations diplomatiques dans toute l'Amérique.
Le dévoilement du texte commémoratif de cette statue équestre a eu lieu le 11 juin 2008, en présence de la présidente de la République du Chili, Mme Michelle Bachelet, et du premier ministre du Québec, M. Jean Charest.
