Often photographed, the Fisherman’s Monument at the Guaymas malecon is the most symbolic statue of the port.  The base of the statue is inscribed with the words of a sad song, “Barco de Guaymas” (Boat of Guaymas).  The words tell us that when a fisherman dies, he goes to the great beyond in the boat of Guaymas.

The Three President’s Plaza was constructed in honor of three men, Adolfo de la Huerta, Plutarco Elías Calles and Abelardo Rodríguez, who were all native of Guaymas and presidents of Mexico.

Constructed in 1899. Located downtown on Avenida Serdan between Calles 22 and 23, next to the Three President’s Plaza.

This Las Vegas-style dancing fountain light show is on each night around 7:00pm.  The show is 30 minutes long and is accompanied to music.  It is located along the new Guaymas boardwalk.

This new boardwalk is located behind the Three President’s Plaza by the waterfront.  In the evenings you’ll find families strolling on the boardwalk, and vendors selling nuts and candies.  On occasion you may see musicians too.  This is where the city puts on their annual shrimp fest and crab fest.  When the cruise ships come into Guaymas, this is where there is usually entertainment.

Constructed in 1850, this church is the oldest in Guaymas, and is built in the neoclassic style.  It is located downtown on Avenida Alfonso Iberri between Calles 24 and 25.

13^th of July Square

With a Moorish-style bandstand, this square symbolizes the heroic battle between the people of Guaymas and the French in 1854.  During the evenings, you will find families and couples sitting on the benches, and vendors selling snacks and refreshments.  The designer of the bandstand was Gustave Eiffel, the same man who designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.
