Paseo Víctor Rojas, Historic esplanade park in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, US.

The Paseo Víctor Rojas extends along the Arecibo coastline with rectangular paths and stone structures built upon former fort foundations.

The promenade, constructed in 1881, incorporates stones from the ruins of San Miguel Fort and received National Historic Place status in 1986.

The park honors Victor Rojas, a local fisherman who conducted numerous maritime rescues from this location during the nineteenth century.

Visitors can access the park from Calle Gonzalo Marín at Avenida De Diego, where benches and shaded areas provide rest spots.

The esplanade stands as one of Puerto Rico's few examples of Victorian-era promenades built specifically for nineteenth-century social gatherings.
