Parque Fundidora
A city park built on a century-old steel mill, where blast furnaces and industrial relics mix with lawns, exhibition halls and performance venues.
Parque Fundidora is built on the site of Latin America's first integrated steel mill. After the mill closed in 1986, it was converted into an industrial heritage park of about 140 hectares. The park keeps its blast furnaces, chimneys and railway tracks. Blast Furnace No. 3 has been converted into the Steel Museum. Nearby are an exhibition center, a concert hall, the former Formula 1 circuit and a children's playground. You can rent a bicycle and ride around the park. The park is especially photogenic in the evening when the lights come on. Entry to the park is free, but each venue charges its own admission.
