The Las Babas trail is another sector of the La Llovizna park located in the city of Puerto Ordaz - Venezuela, which has its own attraction as some paths between forest and jungle, a place with a lot of vegetation that connects with other sectors of the park such as the Las Babas lagoon, the Escondido well and among other places of great importance in the place. Its route can have an estimated time of perhaps 40 minutes to 1 hour where you can be immersed with the characteristics of the vegetation of the place and perhaps with luck you can see some animals of the area.

The name of this Las Babas trail refers to a type of alligator that is very common in Venezuela, and perhaps previously there were many of these species in what I had mentioned in the Las Babas lagoon. An animal that unfortunately in my country is eaten and that has contributed to its possible extinction, therefore I do not believe that any species can be found in this place, but suddenly there may be other animals or insects with their own attraction.

On the other hand, the lagoon that can be found during this walk along the trail is very large, but at the same time it is not easily seen as such because its waters have been completely covered by a lot of vegetation. Even during my search for the lagoon I thought I was not in the right place, but I realized that I was next to the lagoon when I looked down at the water that was hidden beneath all that vegetation. Perhaps during rainy seasons this lagoon can be better appreciated and who knows if you can find some Baba if this species still exists in this place.

The route on this trail is easily accessible with fully paved roads that I think can be used by cars authorized by the park but you can also ride a bicycle. It is a route that develops between hills so there are many descents and climbs that are not so difficult so it is also a route that makes us exercise a little among all this wonderful vegetation very characteristic of the jungle.

On one side of the trail there is a connection with the entire confluence of the Caroní River where the park's waterfalls are located, although there is no easy access to get out to the river due to all the high mountains there are, as well as cliff formations, you can only have access if you find clearer points such as certain existing viewpoints.

Without a doubt this trail has its own attraction for everyone to know, whether for exercise or to simply be connected with nature where you will be able to appreciate a great variety of natural species among large trees, flowers or bushes that are exposed with the beauty of their tones before our eyes, for it is a paradise that exists in this city where I live and I recommend it as a point that we should all know in addition to the fact that it is free and you should take advantage of the benefits of nature to appreciate it and of course it is also important to take care of it.

Looking so aesthetic and beautiful 😍❤️. Thanks for sharing my freind

Thank you for your appreciation!

This natural beauty really impressed me a lot

Hola soy de Venezuela y me gusta saber que mi nación tiene lugares tan bellos. Es una desgracia que nos comamos a esos caimanes, pues ese lugar se vé perfecto para que ellos lo habiten, esa laguna realmente parece un habitad para ellos, Osea cuando la vi, realmente pensé que ahí habían cocodrilos

¡Hola @torbil! Es un país encantador ¿de qué ciudad eres? a través de los usuarios de la comunidad hemos viajado por muchos rincones de Venezuela. ¿No te animarías a mostrarnos la tuya?

Holaaa soy de San Cristóbal. Me encantaría! Pero actualmente no me encuentro en mi país 😞 (estoy en Colombia) y sinceramente soy un chico que casi nunca sale de casa

Pues seguramente hay lugares geniales por allá, si algún día te animas a contarnos un poco, eres bienvenido a la comunidad. 🥰

En algún momento tuvo que haber muchas de esas especies por algo se debe a ese nombre aunque no se sabe si hay algunos sueltos. Saludos y gracias por comentar!

¡Hola @wilfredocav! Aquí @ninaeatshere, me paso para informarte que este post ha sido curado manualmente. Muchas gracias por publicar en la Comunidad de Worldmappin.


Qué bonito poder vivir tan cerca de un emplazamiento natural tan extraordinario, gracias a Hive, estamos descubriendo que el parque La llovizna es muchísimo más que los saltos de agua, sin quitarles mérito claro, tener la posibilidad de pasear gratuitamente por allí adentrándose en la selva, es sin duda una experiencia sumamente atractiva.

Cuando leí caminos pavimentados y bicicletas, me entusiasmé mucho, imaginar que se pueden recorrer los caminos que aparecen en tu primera y cuarta foto pedaleando resulta emocionante. Estar entre tanta vegetación no puede ser menos que relajante y renovador.

Por otro lado, es una pena leer sobre la reducción de la especie de las babas, recuerdo que de pequeña era imposible tan solo considerar acercarse a ese tipo de lagunas, porque estaban minadas de estos animalitos. Ojalá haya un plan de acción para ayudarles a recuperar terreno. Muchas gracias por compartir este paseo y tus reflexiones como local.


Para cualquier consulta, no dudes en comunicarte con el equipo a través de nuestro Discord hemos creado un canal en español para mayor comodidad.

¡Un saludo!



En algún momento tuvo que haber una importante población de Babas en esa zona por algo se debe el nombre, pero desde el momento que construyeron la represa y que tuvieron que trasladar muchos animales hacia otras hábitat y así como también muchas personas por algún tiempo comenzaron a cazar estos animales por supuesto huno una drástica reducción pero bueno actualmente desconozco si existen proyectos o planes para el rescate de lo mismo. Saludos y gracias por tu comentario.

¡Con mucho gusto!
Gracias por usar @worldmappin 😀
