必看景點
1 City Center. Much of the city has been devastated multiple times by earthquakes, most recently in 1949, so don't get your expectations too high when visiting the city center. The cathedral from 1954 next to Parque Juan Montalvo is considered the landmark of Ambato; however, most locals (and visitors) are not too excited about its modern architecture. A highlight of the center are seven large murals that have been painted onto the walls of some public buildings in early 2017. (updated Feb 2017) 2 Jardín Botánico Atocha-La Liria. Ambato's botanical gardens (updated Feb 2017) 3 Quinta De Juan Leon Mera, Dr. Rodrigo Pachano Lalama (across the street from the botanical garden). Daily 09:00-17:00. Hacienda type of museum where a writer used to live. Adjacent in the park is the similar Casa Museo Martínez-Holguín. (updated Dec 2020)
