Greetings to everyone in the Worldmappin community! Today I'm here to share with you a new touristic tour in the city of Puerto Ordaz, Bolivar state, Venezuela. This is the Cachamay Park, which is one of the most famous jungle parks in the city due to the charm of its beautiful waterfalls, flora, fauna and recreational areas in general that allow a pleasant stay for everyone. I made this trip last Saturday, when in a heat wave I decided to go down with @wiljocamvas to take some pictures. Let's start.
I have previously talked about Cachamay Park, but from a perspective focused on its history and botanical qualities. In this opportunity, I would like to highlight a novelty because although I have been living in Bolivar for some time and have visited the park on occasion, I had not realized some of the secrets that are kept there. While walking along the regular route of the place, I found a small path that went down to a small beach that connects directly to the Caroní River. Which is the river that descends directly from the Cachamay waterfalls. As it has been a time of drought, the river was collected and left in its path a large space of land that allows the descent. Here I make a note saying that this does not mean that it is safe. Anyway we are talking about a river with great strength.
¡Saludos a todos en la comunidad de Worldmappin! El día de hoy me uno por aquí para compartir con ustedes un nuevo recorrido turístico en la ciudad de Puerto Ordaz, estado Bolívar, Venezuela. Se trata del Parque Cachamay, el cual es uno de los parques selváticos más conocidos de la ciudad debido al encanto que tienen sus bellas cascadas, flora, fauna y áreas de esparcimiento en general sue permiten una estadia agradable para todas las personas. Este viaje lo realicé el pasado sábado, cuando en una ola de calor decidí bajar junto @wiljocamvas para tomar algunas fotografías. Comencemos.
Anteriormente he hablado sobre el Parque Cachamay, pero desde una perspectiva enfocada en su historia y cualidades botánicas. En esta oportunidad, quisiera resaltar una novedad pues aunque llevo algún tiempo viviendo en Bolívar y visitado en ocasiones el parque, no me había percatado de algunos secretos que allí se guardan. Mientras caminaba por la ruta regular del lugar, encontré un pequeño sendero que bajaba hacia una pequeña playa que conecta directamente con el río Caroní. Que es el río que descendiente directamente desde las cascadas del Cachamay. Cómo ha sido una época de sequía, el río se recogió y dejo a su paso un gran espacio de tierra que permite el descenso. Aquí hago una acotación diciendo que estoy no significa que sea seguro. De todas formas hablamos de un río con gran fuerza.
It was a perfect opportunity to get a close look at the river as I have rarely been able to be that close to the Caroní, unless it is in La Llovizna Park or in San Felix. I wanted very much to be able to go in and test the water at least once, so that's what I did. Of course without going in too deep because swimming is not really allowed there (and even if you know how to swim) because it is a river with a lot of strong currents, animals and so on, I stayed on the shore. It was so hot that entering the water made me feel immediately very cool. I couldn't stay there too long because after a few minutes a policeman called our attention. I had to get out immediately.
The thing is that the policeman, who is the one who guards the park, warned us about the prohibition of swimming in the river. It was a minor scare, but it still makes you think about it. I knew that beforehand, but I had never entered the river before and I really wanted to at least do it that time. I also did not want to do anything extreme, like going directly to the bottom, since it is known that many people went in there to fish and so on. In any case, everything went well, although I know that it is not the most ideal thing to do, as I know of many unfortunate events due to imprudence. It will probably be the last time I will see Puerto Ordaz and its rivers because everything is going its own way. Let's say it was farewell. Without further ado, thank you very much for stopping by and reading my publication. A big hug.
Era una oportunidad perfecta para poder ver de cerca el río pues pocas veces he podido estar tan cerca del Caroní, a menos que sea en el Parque la Llovizna o en San Félix. Deseaba mucho poder entrar y probar al menos una vez el agua, así que eso hice. Por supuesto sin adentrarme demasiado pues realmente allí no está permitido nadar (y aun es así aunque sepas nadar) pues es un río con muchas corrientes fuertes, animales y demás, yo me mantuve en la orilla. Hacia tanto calor que entrar en el agua me hizo sentir inmediatamente muy fresca. No pude estar demasiado tiempo allí porque a los pocos minutos un policía nos llamó la atención. Tuve que salir inmediatamente.
La cuestión es que el policía, que es quién resguarda el parque, nos advirtió sobre la prohibición de nadar dentro del río. Fue un susto menor, pero que igual te hace pensar sobre el asunto. Yo ya sabía de antemano eso, pero nunca antes había entrado al rio y deseaba mucho poder al menos, hacerlo en esa oportunidad. Tampoco deseaba hacer alguna cosa extrema, cómo ir directamente al fondo, pues se sabe que allí muchas personas entraban para pescar y demás. En todo caso, todo salió bien, aunque sé que no es lo más ideal pues me consta de muchos eventos desafortunados por la imprudencia. Es probable que sea la última vez que vea Puerto Ordaz y sus ríos pues cada cosa va marchando por su lado. Digamos que era la despedida. Sin más que decir, muchísimas gracias por pasar por aquí y leer mí publicación. Un fuerte abrazo.
interesting place! how everything stay save in natural, Cachamay Park deserve it.
