PARQUE CALDERÓN
Site of the monument to Abdón Calderón Garaycoa, a hero of Ecuador's War of Independence
It is the ideal place to start the tour of the historic centre. In addition to being a place where the inhabitants of the city and visitors can meet and rest, you can observe daily life in a pleasant atmosphere. In the center is the monument to the memory of Abdón Calderón Garaycoa who was a hero of the war of independence of Ecuador. He was born in Cuenca in 1804 and died in June 1822 in the city of Quito, as a result of numerous wounds resulting from his tireless fight alongside Bolívar, who made him a captain posthumously.
