A Relaxing Morning at Guaqueri Park (Eng/Esp
English version
I decided to take another walk through Guaqueri Park, the city’s most important green space, which is why it’s the perfect refuge to relax for a while and leave behind the worries that often disturb one’s peace of mind. The sound of birds and people enjoying nature usually makes for good company.
This time, the park seemed crowded; early in the morning, the staff who work here gathered at the entrance—about 60 people—and off to the side, I saw a large group of children on the basketball court. I was surprised to see them so active at this hour, exercising; sports are definitely a great way to put idleness aside.
Guaqueri Park has something for everyone; its size allows for harmonious coexistence among people engaged in various activities. I saw people jogging, others reading books, some walking their pets, children playing in the park, young people exercising, older men meditating, and musicians rehearsing with the youth symphony orchestra. Back when I was a student, I used to come here to find inspiration for writing.
Without a doubt, walking through the park lets you breathe fresh air and completely disconnect from the daily grind, from downtown and its loud music, the motorcycles, and the hustle and bustle. This simple activity can be enough to bring you back to the essentials of life. There’s nothing better than peace and quiet for the mind and body to function at their best.
The park tends to be busiest during mango season, since there are several mango trees here of various varieties, including mangas; that’s why people come by to see if they’re lucky enough to have a sweet mango fall at their feet as they walk by, to brighten their day.

Decidí emprender otra caminata por el parque Guaquerí, el área verde más importante de la ciudad, de allí que sea un perfecto refugio para relajarse durante varios instantes y dejar atrás las preocupaciones que suelen perturbar la tranquilidad. El sonido de las aves y la gente disfrutando de la naturaleza suelen ser buena compañía.
Esta vez el parque lucía concurrido, desde temprano el personal que trabaja aquí se reúne en la entrada, unas 60 personas aproximadamente, y a un lado observé una gran cantidad de niños en la cancha de baloncesto. Me sorprendió que estuvieran activos a esta hora, ejercitándose, definitivamente, el deporte es excelente para dejar el ocio a un lado.
El parque Guaquerí posee lugares para todos los gustos,sus dimensiones permiten la sana convivencia entre quienes realizan varias actividades. Así pude observar a personas trotando, otras leyendo libros, algunas paseando a sus mascotas, niños en el parque, jóvenes haciendo ejercicios, señores meditando y músicos ensayando junto a la orquesta sinfónica juvenil. Antes en mi época de estudiante solía venir acá a buscar inspiración para escribir.
Sin duda, caminar por el parque permite respirar aire puro y desconectarse por completo de lo rutinario, del centro de la ciudad y su música escandalosa, las motos y las prisas. Este simple ejercicio puede ser suficiente para volver a lo esencial de la vida. No hay nada mejor que la tranquilidad para que la mente y el cuerpo funcionen de la mejor manera.
El parque suele ser más visitado cuando es época de mangos ya que acá hay varios árboles de esa fruta, de diversas variedades, incluyendo mangas,por ello la gente se aproxima a ver si tiene la suerte de que al pasar caiga a sus pies un dulce mango para alegrar sus corazones.

I’m always happy when I see young people exercising because it seems that, in their generation, many have become less interested in physical activity. This park is really a great help to the community. You’re lucky to have such a nice park where people can exercise, relax, and spend time together.
It's good that the park has something for everyone, from sports and music to reading and simply enjoying nature.😍
