More information on El Churo

This viewpoint is located on one side of the Alameda Park. It is build on a spiral form and was erected early on the 20th Century by Enrique Fuseau, Jr. using remnants from earth excavated during the construction of the Luis Sodiro street and other vegetable waste that came from the Park itself. It allowed then, an excellent place where to observe the city but it has lost this benefit due to the construction of high buildings. Not withstanding, the spiral form constitutes a beautiful city landmark.
