    (Translated by Google) Experience the closeness with the iguanas! Different and exciting 🥰 There is a lady who is in charge of feeding them lettuce and bananas. The pigeons are out there trying to get some food ... In the part of small lagoons there are turtles of different sizes ... (Original) Experimenta la cercanía con las iguanas ! Diferente y emocionante 🥰 Hay una señora que se encarga de alimentarlas con lechuga y bananas. Las palomas están por ahi tratando de obtener algo de comida... En la parte de pequeñas lagunas hay tortugas de diferentes tamaños...

    A small, but beautiful park, in the middle of the city, that has iguanas walking around freely. There is also a pond containing a kot of turtles and fish. They are very friendly and not shy. It was a real treat to see them. The park is very clean, has a lot of shade from the many large trees, and there are plenty of park benches to sit on. Though there is grass it is not for walking or sitting on. The park was a wonderful oasis in a busy city. Well worth a visit. There is also a gorgeous looking church across the street. It had just closed as we arrived. We plan to go back to see the inside.

    This is a tiny park but it's really neat and pretty. I visited it at night which could add some charm to it. One thing that I'd improve is to add some color lights. Just replace some white bulbs with colored ones.

    When visiting the city of Guayaquil I was amazed by the diversity of tourist sites that this beautiful city offers to its visitors, as well as its gastronomy and culture. In addition, this city enjoys a warm climate, perfect for an excellent summer vacation. These sites have a great history and many of them are cultural heritages. One of its tourist attractions that most caught my attention was the Seminary Park, known as Parque de las Iguanas. As its name says, being in this park you can have contact with iguanas, which, being permanently close to humans, are not aggressive and do not run any risk so you can approach these animals and take a photo or if you prefer you can give them food. It is an incredible experience that is lived in this place, and for those who like nature, this is an option in the middle of a city so it is one hundred percent recommended.

    This park will surely surprise any tourist. Located in the heart of the city, Parque Seminario offers a treat for visitors with numerous iguana freely moving around. Certainly not the place where you'll expect wild animals just moving around.

    (Translated by Google) Also known as the iguana park, it is located in the center of the city of Guayaquil, a traditional place, a meeting point for retirees where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Guayaquil cathedral. (Original) Conocido también como parque de las iguanas se encuentra en el centro de la ciudad de Guayaquil, sitio tradicional, punto de encuentro de jubilados en el que puedes disfrutar una vista magnífica de la catedral de Guayaquil

    Small yet very well laid out grounds for a nice walk. This place is great for kids, families, or couples. I would recommend going with a guide to learn more, but overall this was a great stop in our day in Guyaquil.

    Gorgeous peace of nature just across from the big busy and loud city. It’s a little piece of peace that stand out for it’s superb and perfect maintained facilities. It’s always shaded so the temperature is always bearable. I like to take all visitors there before they fly back to their home countries. Leaves an impressive last impression of Guayaquil. Not just the Zoo, but the museums and the reconstruction of some historic houses and scenes. A must see !!

    Very surprising park in the heart of Guayaquil city. Many iguanas moves around you very freely. There is only benches where you can sit, no grass to lay down and rest.

  • 5/5 Purpur_in _. 2 years ago on Google
    The park is nice, the iguanas are walking or resting around, there are quite a lot of pigeons as well. There are some benches were you can sit and relax. There is a small pond with fishes, tortoises and iguanas swimming peacefully. The park is located in a busy area, so there is a lot of noise

    As you walk inside the Parque Seminario, you can see the care and love reflected in the carefully maintained passages full of old flat stones. I have no doubt that this is the first major eco system I've seen in the dead center of a city. The iguanas, tortoise, and fish co exist, creating a peaceful environment for all to reflect and find peace within. Very small park but huge in rich history.

  • 5/5 Jennifer C. 11 months ago on Google • 131 reviews
    Great to a quick stop! The park itself is pretty, but the main attractions are the iguanas that reside there! They are not afraid of you at all, and if you bring a banana along, then expect to make some friends!

  • 5/5 Peter K. 2 months ago on Google • 115 reviews New
    This is a wonderful park in the centre of Guayaquil with historic significance featuring a monument to Simon Bolívar. In addition, the park contains many iguanas roaming around in both enclosed spaces with ponds and also freely in other parts of the park. This is truly an urban oasis definitely worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Hidden F. 7 months ago on Google • 96 reviews
    This park is really sold on the fact that there are iguanas there, but to be honest, there aren't too many and they're not particularly big or impressive. Still, it's a nice park and there are ponds, where iguanas mix with fish and turtles. The added draw for this park is that there is also the Metropolitan Cathedral right next to it, which is pretty impressive in it's own right.

  • 5/5 Micky H. 9 months ago on Google • 47 reviews
    Great place to watch iguanas and get a selfish with these guys. Be on the lookout if you try to eat lunch here you WILL get a lizard friend.

  • 4/5 Marcella N. 7 months ago on Google • 17 reviews

  • 5/5 Abhishek H. 5 years ago on Google
    Park filled with Iguanas 🦎🦎🦎 so many of them....one of must visit places in Guayaquil. Just opposite to the park is a restaurant where you can try Ecuadorian 🍴🍕🍔 after you have finished gazing and clicking these amazing lizards....

  • 5/5 Malgorzata D. 5 years ago on Google
    I heard the name of the park but didn't expect to see so many iguanas. I find it nice that park serve also as rescue centre for turtles. Look carefully at the pond how you can see varied turtles, some look little scary. Great place, for sure it would one of the most memorable places in Guayaquil for me.

  • 5/5 Timir D. 4 years ago on Google
    A place to observe land iguanas at large. best to visit on Sundays. weekdays to be avoided for inadequate parking place and possible rush and crowds.

  • 4/5 Barbara D. 5 years ago on Google
    The famous iguana park in Guayaquil! Proper name, since it's loaded with iguanas. You can even touch some of them as they're quite calm. Good to take pictures. Beautiful church on the next block. Free entry to the park!

  • 5/5 マサの東欧日記 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 David A. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 George J. 6 years ago on Google
    Great park with a small pond full of fish that you can feed. You can see the iguanas everywhere. There are a lot pigeons too!

  • 5/5 Nick W. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a great little historical park and offers a very unique experience for travellers - you can hand feed iguanas. And when I say iguanas, I mean iguanas, they are literally everywhere - dont forget to look up, they're even in the trees. Surrounded by cathedrals, this is a great way to spend the morning. Buy some churros from the local vender, a bag of lettuce or bird feed from someone else, and run wild. Great photo opportunities and a must if it's your first time in Guayaquil.

    (Translated by Google) This is a park that is characterized by having large iguanas walking freely between its spaces, which is why they also call it "The iguana park", they approach when you offer them some food that is on hand. Near the boardwalk and in front of a beautiful cathedral, going to this park will make you have a good time. Remember, if you want to see the iguanas up close a piece of bread or better fruit will make them come a little closer :) DO NOT MISFEED THE ANIMALS OR DUMP GARBAGE OUT OF PLACE. (Original) Este es un parque que se caracteriza por tener iguanas de gran tamaño caminando libremente entre sus espacios por lo cual también le dicen "El parque de las iguanas", ellas se acercan cuando se les ofrece algún alimento que se tenga a la mano. Cerca del malecón y frente a una hermosa catedral ir a este parque le hará pasar un buen rato. Recuerde, si quiere ver de cerca a las iguanas un pedacito de pan o mejor fruta hará que se les acerquen un poco :) NO MALTRATE A LOS ANIMALES NI BOTE BASURA FUERA DE LUGAR.

    This park is a must see if you ever find yourself in the city of Guayaquil... I love the animals.

  • 4/5 Manuel B. 3 years ago on Google
    It is a small park. It is very visited by tourists because you can feed the iguanas and the turtles that live in the park. It is also well located, the main basilica is across the street and one of the best Ecuadorian food restaurant in the city La Canoa is also across the street. You should wear comfy shoes, the park floor is made of stones.

    The Parque Seminario is located on Calle 5 SE Road and is adjacent to the Unipark Hotel and the Iglesia Catedral. A notable feature of this park is its colony of iguanas.

  • 3/5 Reed H. 3 years ago on Google
    The park looked cool and inviting, with iguanas visible everywhere. However, with COVID and the holiday, we couldn't get in to see upclose or walk around.

  • 5/5 Nicholas M. 4 years ago on Google
    What a cool little park. Hundreds of iguanas just sitting around waiting for you to feed them. Best of all this is a free attraction. Park is beautiful and safe and there are plenty of people selling items to feed to the iguanas. A lot of fun.

  • 5/5 Louisa Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Gem in the city - well kept, accessible park. Seems popular with locals and tourists alike. Iguanas roam freely in the park. Amazing experience! Also a pond replete with turtles and koi. Strong supporting cast of pigeons of all colours! Easy 2 blocks' walk from the water front, Malecon 2000. Turn at the clock tower and head inland!!

    The iguanas park is a great place to visit, there is a lot of lizards here, all taking care of them selves hehehe. They do not care with you pass near them what means that you can take great photos.

  • 5/5 Nata K. 5 years ago on Google
    I was really surprised they clean here. If you come on a busy day, expect tourists, locals, everyone feeding not just iguanas, but also pigeons. Also expect some rats here. There are several benches where no one usually sits. All in all, this is not a park to walk, but rather to sit and chill and people watch. Beautiful during the evening hours.

  • 5/5 kal l. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this park. It has a bunch of iguanas just chilling around. They are super friendly and will let you pet them. I was told there used to be a lot more but they started to die because of the pandemic as no one was feeding them. People used to go pet them and feed them but now that the park is closed it’s become dangerous for them to live here. I hope someone doesn’t something to help them

    Beautiful city park with gorgeous plants and trees. Most of all though — it has iguanas!! They are everywhere! Only one gate is open so once you’re inside you can walk around or sit on a bench to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. It’s free! There is a large statue in the center of the park and old trees along the edges near the fence. So many flowers and lovely plants! The iguanas are fascinating to watch. Br sure to visit the cathedral just across the street if you are interested in that type of thing. It’s very European with a pretty rose window.

  • 5/5 Melissa P. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s pretty small but so fun to see all the iguanas! More than I was expecting! They’re everywhere, even in the trees.

  • 5/5 Jorge G. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved this park, it's so green full of iguanas, turtles and the Cathedral is right in front of it. A place to relax and to take pictures of lots of iguanas.

  • 5/5 Roy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Parque Seminario otherwise know and the Iguana Park is a city park with a large statue of Simon Bolivar, a large gazebo, many benches, beautiful trees and landscaping, a fountain with fish and turtles living in, and lots and lots and lots of iguanas. The iguanas have no fear of people as they are protected in the park. Due to lack of fear they come very close to people. There are vendors selling food to feed the iguanas, turtles and pigeons. The day I went the Guayaquil Municipal Guard Band was playing songs while set up in the gazebo. The band played very well and made the experience of seeing the park even better. The iguanas did not seem to care much about the music and continued about their business. In the coy pond/fountain there is an area of rocks which makes a small island in the pond where turtles, iguanas and pigeons all come together and sit on the rocks to sun themselves. We bought iguana food on our way in only to find the iguanas had already eaten their fill and there was uneaten iguana food everywhere. I would suggest not buying the food and just picking up a few uneaten pieces from the grass to try and feed the iguanas with. The only animals that were continuously eating were the pigeons. Definitely worth a visit if you are I'm Guayaquil. This area is patrolled by the police and armed guards and is very safe for tourists.

    Beautiful park that honors the liberator, Simón Bolívar. This park has a couple hundred iguanas, and a pond with turtles. Lovely to stroll around. A couple of blocks from the Malecón.

  • 4/5 Mr B. 1 year ago on Google
    A small park in the centre of town with paths between patches of grass. Has a statue of Simon Bolivar, lots of arboreal iguanas, and the oldest building in Guayaquil. Not really somewhere to relax as the park was so busy. PS Don't stand under any trees... You have been warned!

  • 5/5 Bernardo E. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a small but very interesting park with plenty of iguanas. You can find them everywhere. There is a beautiful church just behind the park.

  • 5/5 Eunice C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful. We loved to see so many iguanas just being themselves at the park. We could take pictures and even touch some of them. Beware dogs are not allowed for the iguana’s well-being.

  • 5/5 Luke 1 year ago on Google
    One of the few saving graces for what is otherwise a pretty miserable, at times scary city that seems to be having some serious tough times 🥲❤️ I hope the systemic problems can be resolved as it’s a city with a lot of potential. This park is lovely, filled with good people and better animals, you will LOVE it

  • 5/5 Ferdi 11 months ago on Google
    Very well maintained small park with Iguanas and Turtles. Open 9:00 to 20:30 (according to security guard).

  • 5/5 Andrea P. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the animals, you can find here many iguanas, some turtles and fish in a little park, you can go with lettuce and bananas is you want to feed them, they are friendly animals. So you can get a trip in a bus for some important places of the city for 8 US dollars.

  • 5/5 Janet M. 7 months ago on Google
    Rated 5 star just because you can freely walk round with Iguanas for free. Lovely experience.

    Parque Seminario, is known as Iguana Park - It is a must-visit travel spot in Guayaquil, Ecuador. 🦎 The park is home to a large population of iguanas. You will catch the iguanas sunning themselves on benches, lounge in the trees, and waddle along the pathways. It's a great place FREE place to soak up the local vibe and people-watch! If you are going to Ecuador put this on your "Things to Do" list!
