Luisa santiaga
Nature and Shade
This park was created in 1911 in commemoration of the declaration of independence of Cartagena de las Indias. The Indian village was located in this park, but was destroyed upon the Spanish arrival. The park is currently inhabited by a variety of animal species including: Iguanas, pigeons, monkeys, wild birds like Mary Mulatas, sloths, and squirrels, among others. You can also find storytellers, street vendors, bookmakers or elderly retirees who come to spend some time under the shade of the trees.
