Om
Raske fakta: Two giant dragon trees, each over 300 years old, anchor the park's main plaza. More than 80 species of tropical and subtropical plants thrive here, creating a dense urban oasis.
Høydepunkter: On Sunday mornings, the park transforms into an open-air dance floor where locals of all ages gather for spontaneous salsa and timba sessions under the ficus trees. The best spot is near the old wooden bandstand, where the raised stone benches offer front-row views of couples spinning to live conga drums.
Insidertips
- Enter through the side gate on Calle Buenos Aires to avoid the crowds at the main entrance and discover a quieter shaded corner with stone benches.
- The small cactus garden near the eastern edge has a hidden bench that faces the dragon trees, perfect for early morning photos without people in the frame.
- Bring a book or sketchpad on weekday afternoons, the benches around the central fountain are surprisingly quiet between 2pm and 5pm.
- Skip the playground area if you're not traveling with kids, the real charm is in the northern garden wing with its winding paths and hidden statues.
