Park
Water & Amusement Parks
Large park featuring a recreational lake, swimming pool, children's rides & a small zoo.
Slide 1 of 8
Great place to spend a day away from everything. Lots of activities to do including zip line that's about 150 meters long and it's only about 5 soles which is about $1.80 per person per ride.. great food inside..
It's such a good place but it is better on Sundays
This is always the best family spot to spend some time with our loved ones.
Loved it. Lost of plants, boat ride, horseback riding, zoo like area and a delicious restaurant with live music on the weekends - El Rinconcito
This park has been given to the current owners as a gift by Sider Peru, a company which is eco-friendly and environment-conscious though industrial. Sadly, the new owners of Vivero cut down hundreds of healthy trees to create a noisy lunapark filled with tourist attractions such as quad bike zone. The last natural bit of the park is soon to be destroyed in order to give more space to the fun train which runs there. It is sad to see the stumps of trees that have died perfectly healthy to make room for more concrete in an already arid, desert city. While in Chimbote everyone talks about the beauty of Dubai, which is a great inspiration here, right the opposite of what we find in Dubai is being done here. Many of the parts of the park are kept unattended and in a horrible state such as the lagoons with wooden bridges which could remind one of Japanese gardens if they were treated well.
Liked the place but too many people. Parking was an adventure
Such a nice place to go with the family.
A place to walk and to have some fun.

(Translated by Google) A church where part of my vocation was developed in the company of great friends. I learned not to judge people because it is Time that is responsible for straightening everything that is crooked. There is a lot of joy and happiness here, especially when enjoying the warm hugs of people you never expected. (Original) Una iglesia donde parte de mi vocación la desarrollé en compañía de grandes amigos. Aprendí a no juzgar a las personas porque es el Tiempo quien se encarga de enderezar todo lo torcido. Aquí hay mucha alegría y felicidad, especialmente cuando se disfruta de los cálidos abrazos de personas que nunca esperaste.
(Translated by Google) Parish run by the Dominican congregation that is located at the intersection of Guillermo Moore and José Pardo Avenues. In this church rests the image of San Pedro, who goes out for a boat ride in the bay to the White Island every June 29. Highly recommended!! (Original) Parroquia regentada por la congregación de los Dominicos que se ubica en la interección de las Av. Guillermo Moore y José Pardo. En esta iglesia reposa la imagen de San Pedro, que cada 29 de junio sale de paseo en lancha en la bahia hacia la Isla Blanca. Muy recomendable!!
(Translated by Google) It was a pleasure to visit the Church of San Pedro since I am visiting here in Chimbote. (Original) Bueno grato visitar la iglesia de San Pedro ya que estoy de visita aquí en chimbote
(Translated by Google) The bathrooms were very far away (Original) Los baños eran muy lejos
(Translated by Google) Great work of God (Original) Gran obra de Dios
(Translated by Google) It is part of the culture of Chimbote because it is the oldest and progressively goes hand in hand with the development of the port. It also represents the patron saint festival of San Pedro, patron saint of fishermen, which is celebrated in the month of June. You must visit it. (Original) Es parte de la cultura de chimbote por ser la más antigua y progresivamente camino de la mano con el desarrollo del puerto, además representa la fiesta patronal de San pedrito patrono de los pescadores que se celebra en el mes de junio hay que visitarlo

Slide 1 of 8
A great place to have a fun day
Visit this plaza for the food court which has KFC & Burger King. Free parking is nice! Personal checklist of trying local flavor fast food. Very glad that the cashier is bilingual, making the order process much more easier and faster. Still very restrictive COVID policy restrictions in the plaza. No plate leaving the counter and mask mandate even if pickup order.
It's nice but small and their food choices are limited and KFC is probably the worst option as the food is cold and tasteless
Regular shopping center with major Peruvian stores and food court. Bad smell from the Chimbote pollution. No toilet paper and dirty bathrooms. Not recommended.
Have all your shopping needs Large Mall
It's a beautiful place to buy many things
Great mall big and clean bathrooms with toilet paper and clean
Very nice but crowded
