In the center of an artificial pond along Malecón 2000 is this bust by Victor Ochoa of León Febres Cordero. He served as one-time president of Ecuador (1984 – 1988) and then two terms as Guayaquil’s mayor (1992 – 2000). During those eight years, his administration is credited with making significant contributions to the city’s economic growth. Ask the children rolling around and laughing inside of the inflated Water Balls if they care.
