Flower (Heliconia sp.), Parque Histórico, Guayaquil, Ecuador



I'm keen to go to the Botanical Gardens, which are renowned for their species of orchids, but they're out of town and for safety reasons I'm advised not to go alone. It's also so hot and sticky I'm completely overcome with lethargy and decide instead to visit the Parque Histórico Guayaquil, where I'm also assured they have a variety of plants.

The park is divided into three sections - rural life, traditions and urban architecture. There are a number of animals on display including a puma but it's the plants I'm more interested in.
