Seminario Park (Parque de las Iguanas)
Guayaquil, Ecuador
Seminario Park, also known as Parque de las Iguanas, is a small urban park in Guayaquil, notable for the large population of green iguanas that inhabit its trees. Established in the late 19th century, the park features a tranquil atmosphere with well-maintained gardens and paths, making it a unique retreat in the city's bustling environment.
Visitors can enjoy observing the iguanas lounging in the branches or basking in the sun, particularly active during the warm afternoons. It’s a short walk from the waterfront Malecón 2000 and the historic Las Peñas neighborhood, providing a pleasant stop between these attractions. The park's charm lies in the harmonious coexistence of wildlife and urban life.

“I highly recommend Mario as a tour guide. He is exceptional and incredibly knowledgeable, providing detailed insights into the cocoa farm process. The farm itself is a beautiful location, and we had the opportunity to make chocolate from scratch, which included roasting the beans, peeling them, and grinding them into a paste using a hand grinder. We also sampled unique drinks. The lunch provided was delightful, both tasty and beautifully presented. We crafted our own chocolate bars with various toppings according to our preferences, and the chocolate quality was outstanding. Meeting the cocoa farm owners was a great experience, and we could purchase chocolate bars at a very fair price. On our way back to Guayaquil, Mario took us to see highlights such as a church, a lovely street, and the iguana park, sharing the city’s history and answering all our questions about life in Ecuador. Our full day with Mario ran from 10 AM to 6 PM. Thank you, Mario; we truly appreciate your country!”— Maureen_C on the Full-day tour of Guayaquil and a cocoa farm tour
