The Iguana Park


Commonly known as the Iguana Park, its actual name is Seminario Park, except when it is Bolivar Park. How many parks have this many names? In a city filled with statues, Simon Bolivar rides his horse in the middle of his park, which is directly across the street from our hotel. The town of Guayaquil used to end here, and the iguanas apparently chose this place as a good feeding ground and stayed. There are dozens, if not hundreds of them, along with turtles, fish and birds. All of this and a gazebo where the municipal band sometimes performs, it's a great place to spend some reading time, or just plain old people - or iguana - watching time.
