The Marimba Park is both a place of maximum relaxation, unity with nature, and a place of active recreation - noisy concerts, fun dances, bright parties! There is also a third side of the Marimba Park - gastronomic. This is the citadel of Tuxtla Gutierrez street food! And also, a cool and free attraction!

There, among twisted benches and thick trunks of giant trees, it is very interesting to watch the life of smiling Mexicans from the inside. Businessmen in formal suits make their way through the park to catch an important meeting. Couples hold hands and slowly walk along the paved paths, enjoying every minute together... Baby strollers with cheerful children appear from around the corner. Moms talk about different household chores ...

They left, so now there are no people. You can look at the complex elements of forged benches, fences, street lights. The park is made in the colonial style. And Spanish influence can be traced in its architecture.

The center of the park is a white carved, rather lacy, rotunda. It seems that it is made of a starched lace doily, which is then stretched with colored garlands. It's getting dark. So it`s better to move over and sit on the bench next to the rotunda. Soon the heat of the day will be replaced by the night. However, it will be hot from people: from dancing, music, hugs.

Locals consider the Marimba Park to be the center of Mexican culture in general and the colorful features of Tuxtla Gutierrez in particular. Musicians appear on the stage of the rotunda. Lights and garlands are lit. Music spreads through the park. And people from different parts of the central platform start to dance. Old people, children, teenagers – everyone is dancing! Most women dress in traditional Mexican dresses. Colorful artists on stilts appear. And a ball salesman enhances the feeling of celebration.

What a wonderful smell comes from the little pavilion! Fried corn with cream cheese, hot sauce, and a little lime juice. It seems like an explosive mix, but it's delicious. You can also find more traditional food: cotton candy, fruit, pizza.

The park is full of bread and circuses!

Address: Av Central Poniente, Centro
