Exploring the The Chaimas Sector (Eng/Esp)
English version
This time I’m sharing some photos of the Los Chaimas neighborhood, a residential area located just a few meters from the beach with access to Avenida Perimetral and, therefore, to the Monumento neighborhood. When I’m around here, I enjoy taking in all these different atmospheres; it’s nice to see people who share my interests—whether it’s sports, photography, art, content creation, or even reflecting on life’s ups and downs.
This time, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a group of people on the beach, as if they were at a tourist resort. Umbrellas, coolers, towels, and music accompanied these “tourists.” Seeing people swimming here is very strange—it’s completely unusual—because the waves crash against a stone wall and the water is usually heavily polluted.
It’s a shame to see trash like bottles, cups, and plastic bags spoiling the landscape—a regrettable situation that makes us reflect on caring for the environment in which we live. It’s also worth noting that the residential area’s wastewater flows into the sea, which can be seen after passing under several bridges located above the sidewalks.
Beyond this point, I had the opportunity to photograph some boats; some were resting on the shore and others were anchored in the water. The fishermen were checking the condition of their traps and preparing to set out at night, since the darkness and silence guarantee a good catch.

Esta vez comparto unas fotos del sector Los Chaimas, urbanizacion ubicada a pocos metros de la playa con acceso a la Avenida Perimetral y por lo tanto al sector Monumento. Cuando estoy por acá me agrada disfrutar de todos estos ambientes, es grato observar a personas que compartimos gustos en común ya sea con respecto a prácticas deportivas, fotografías, arte, creación de contenidos e inclusive reflexionar sobre los avatares de la vida.
Esta vez quedé gratamente sorprendida cuando aprecié a un grupo de personas en la orilla de la playa, como si estuvieran en un balneario turístico. Sombrillas, cavas, toallas y música estaban acompañando a estos "turistas". Observar personas bañándose aquí es muy extraño, es completamente inusual, porque el oleaje se estrella contra un muro de piedras y el agua suele tener un alto grado de contaminación.
Es una lástima observar desechos como botellas, vasos y bolsas plásticas que afean el paisaje, situación lamentable que nos hace reflexionar sobre el cuidado del medio ambiente donde subsistimos. Es de hacer notar además que las aguas servidas de la urbanización también van al mar, lo que se puede advertir tras pasar por varios puentes ubicados sobre las aceras.
Más allá de este punto, tuve la oportunidad de fotografíar algunos botes, unos reposaban en la orilla y otros estaban anclados en el agua, los pescadores revisaban el estado de sus nasas y se preparaban para zarpar de noche puesto que la oscuridad y el silencio garantizan una buena pesca.
