Parque seminario
Parque Seminario
Located in downtown Guayaquil, this public park is primarily known for the large population of land iguanas that live freely among the trees and walkways. Visitors go here to observe these reptiles in an urban setting and to experience a green space within the city center.
Getting There
The park is situated in the heart of the city center. If you are staying in the downtown area, it is accessible by walking. From most central hotels or plazas, it typically takes less than 10 to 15 minutes to reach on foot.
Time Required
A visit usually requires between 30 and 60 minutes. This allows enough time to walk through the grounds and observe the wildlife without a rushed pace.
When to Visit
The park is open to the public throughout the day. It can become crowded during weekends and public holidays when local families visit. To avoid the strongest midday heat, visiting in the early morning or late afternoon is recommended.

Because of its central location, the park can be combined with several other nearby sites within walking distance:
- Guayaquil Metropolitan Cathedral: 0.1km
- Torre Morisca: 0.4km
- Luis Adolfo Noboa Naranjo Museum: 0.5km
