Why You Should Visit:
A unique, fun and inexpensive way to spend a few hours exploring traditional attractions of a natural amusement park and/or enjoying some shade while having a snack.
On one side of the park you have the Costera and the Beach and on the other side you have the City where there's plenty of shopping.
You can take a walk or jog inside the park and then you can go swimming a little in the ocean.

Climb the iguanario! Very few know that part of the park and the climb is tiring, but the view of the bay is great, and the place itself is really nice.
