Parque seminario, Public park in central Guayaquil, Ecuador.
The Parque Seminario extends across multiple blocks near the Metropolitan Cathedral, featuring a lagoon, gazebo, and green spaces lined with trees.
Originally established as Plaza de Armas in 1693, the space transformed into a French-style garden in 1895 through funding from Miguel Suárez Seminario.
Local families gather at the park after Sunday services at the Metropolitan Cathedral, creating regular social interactions between residents and visitors.
The park offers free entry and remains open daily, with police patrols maintaining security throughout the grounds for visitor protection.
Over 350 green iguanas inhabit the park grounds, moving freely among visitors while basking on rocks and resting in tree branches.
