Today, I once again set out to explore the trails and greenways of Leofling Park in Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, with the intention of discovering other parts of the park that I haven't yet explored. This area is much larger than what can be seen on Google Maps. However, you can still find countless paths to different locations. Some I know from references and others I have no idea what they might be. However, from any point, you can see a lot of water, rivers, and small waterfalls.
I prepared myself well early this Wednesday, with a good breakfast, and then left the house around 8 a.m., walking through part of the city to reach the park, which takes perhaps 20 minutes. As soon as I arrived at the park, I could see that the weather conditions were ripe for rain that day, but that wasn't an obstacle. I was already on the paths in the wooded area of the park. However, about 25 minutes into the journey, it was starting to rain. As soon as I saw an abandoned house, I headed for shelter while the rain passed.
From the shelter, I was already very close to other places I've visited several times in the park. I waited a while while, from a distance, I could see about five monkeys jumping between the trees. For me, it was like watching a live show while I spent time in the shelter. It's basically an establishment that perhaps previously functioned as a checkpoint for visitors to this park. Also, very close was the zoo, which is no longer in operation, and I haven't even seen any traces of that place, which I once visited with my parents as a child.
For a moment, I thought about returning home since I had to be there before 12 pm to make lunch, and I honestly didn't know how long this hike would take. But once the rain stopped, I decided to continue my hike, passing again by some of the lakes and water holes in Leofling Park, until I reached a point I hadn't passed before. It was a more rocky area with some elevations and trails that were clearly burned—I don't know if intentionally or naturally, since it hadn't rained recently until that day. My path continued aimlessly until I found another unfamiliar lake, and through other entrances I could even access what could be considered a dock that connects to the rapids of the Caroní River. It was also close to Cachamay Island. I'll soon talk about that place and the path I took to get to know it.

I wonder sy there is an abandoned house there?
but it seems to be a nice walk on the park my friend.
Well, it's not a home as such, but rather a place where park rangers used to live, and well, only the remains of that place remain. Greetings, and thanks for commenting!
Beautifully captured photographs. A walk is indeed a nice time to explore nature.
It is also always good to be in contact with nature.
Indeed, it is .
