This is a fine park at the confluence of two rivers (Yanuncay and Tomebamba). Once a site of strategic importance which is why the native population built a settlement here called Pumapungo. Nowadays it is a quiet place where people go to relax or do sports. Very pleasant and peaceful ambiance even during the weekend when locals rent a paddle boat at the pond in the center of the park. I particularly liked the trail along the river banks which is a bit wild. Hard to imagine this place was once the scene of a devastating flood in 1950.

This is a large and beautiful park that makes you feel like you are far away from a city. There are waterways and a lake. Well groomed tree/grass areas, and wild tree patches beside the river. They wisely embedded rows of stones in the hillside at the edges of the river, so people can sit and peacefully gaze at the river, or wade in the edge of the river. The boardwalk takes you along the prettiest wildest areas, walking above the water and meadows. There is also a nice playground area. Lots of people have their dogs on leashes, and families with children have plenty to do there. A few vendors on the outer edges of the Parque provide drinks and fruits and snacks if you want them.

Cuenca's largest city park, a big attraction particularly on weekends, draws large recreational use. The park encounters two major rivers which makes for an excellent river walk opportunity also!
