Squares, Parks, Gardens

For a long time, there were no well-designed municipal parks in the city. It was considered that there was enough nature around to rest and spend one’s leisure time.

But in 2016, a grand-scale construction was launched in Portoviejo. Right in the city center, a vast area of land was fenced. There was an unkempt forest before, but it was uncomfortable to walk, or even sometimes unsafe there, especially in the evenings. In a year, in September 2017, a unique recreation space, unparalleled in Ecuador, was open there. La Rotonda Park is a cultural and art center that immediately conquered the hearts of locals and city visitors.

What is so attractive in La Rotonda Park? First of all, here you can cross a beautiful lagoon by boat. Secondly, for recreationists, there are cycling and pedestrian paths and special places for bungee jumping. Thirdly, La Rotonda Park has a relatively large number of well-equipped picnic spots.

Besides, there is a huge stage in the park, where concerts, theatrical performances, and shows for the little ones are held regularly.

But the main attraction of La Rotonda Park is its fountains. There is a plethora of them here. And in the evenings, by the central lake, there starts an absorbing light and music show with themed videos projected directly on these fountains. Both children and adults come to see the spectacle. The repertoire of the show is often updated. But the same show is still enjoyable if you watch it more than once because it looks different from different angles and wows you each time.

The motto of the park says: La Rotonda is more than a park. Indeed, this is true, because people don’t just relax there. Sometimes, there are exciting sports workshops, and you can see people practicing yoga. Newly-married couples come to La Rotonda Park to take spectacular photos with the fountains in the background.
