Create an itinerary including Plaza Parque Simon Bolivar

Admire the impressive statue of the eponymous Bolivar at Plaza Parque Simon Bolivar, or simply relax in one of the vibrant surrounding coffee shops. Located in the heart of town, the square draws scores of locals and tourists to its water fountain. The addition of quite a few vendors makes this place a hive of activity. Get away from the blazing heat and nab yourself a canopied spot under one of the plaza's many trees; you might even spot an iguana or two.

The square is very large but there is not so much to see. There is almost everywhere a bad smell of urine.

not much to this place. It is just a square with a statue of Bolivar. There is one in every major town.

Ordinary park. But be warned, there are working girls at this park even during broad day light, but they'd leave you alone. - 2022/08/20

A nice community park with plenty of benches. A statue of Simon Bolivar. It is really lit up for Christmas with nativity displays.
