Popular park known for a huge slab of volcanic rock that people can slide down. Playgrounds with slides and other equipment, but much of it is in poor repair so exercise parental supervision and inspect it before letting kids loose to play on their own. The park has a rather grim monument and memorial to "disappeared" people and is bedecked with posters seeking information about lost loved ones.
Large and lively park with manicured gardens, wide paved walking paths, fountains and monuments. Lots of benches to sit and people watch. Many food and drink vendors, particularly on weekends when families come out.
This museum is not only dedicated to the region's handicrafts and folk art, it also has exhibitions related to the area's popular festivals and traditions. The collection includes festival costumes, toys, masks, cooking utensils, metal miniatures, wood objects, pottery and fiber crafts.

This is the oldest cathedral in North America, established in 1525 and completed in 1540, but since then it has been renovated various times, often due to earthquake damage. The style is Neoclassical with two towers at the front and a dome. The interior is sparse. The church was consecrated as a basilica by Pope John Paul II in 1998.
