Tanguá Park
Parque Tanguá
A park built on two abandoned quarries, where an artificial waterfall, a tunnel and a lake sit below the lookout. It is the city's favorite spot for watching the sunset.
Tanguá Park opened in 1996 on two abandoned quarries in the northern part of the city. It is best known for the Bopp Pont Mirante lookout and the artificial waterfall that cascades into the lake below it. The French-style garden and gazebos beside the lookout are also photogenic. A tunnel through the rock links the two lake areas, and you can walk along the boardwalk. The park is free. Evening is peak sunset time, and parking is tight on weekends. City sightseeing buses stop here, and the park can be combined with the Wire Opera House and Tingui Park.
