A memorable day at El Parque De Las Leyendas

I was going through my photo library and had the wonderful surprise of finding some photos that for some reason I had forgotten about. These photos are in the backup of a phone I had some years ago and that folder was hidden among so many others, it could have been lost in that sea of files, but I think that fate and my curiosity to review in depth the things I have in my computer, allowed me to find this to share it with you.

So, it was July 2021, the pandemic controls were relaxed and I was on vacation, so I decided to visit a gigantic park that I had heard about from my coworkers. Something curious about this park, is that although it is quite large in extension, it is located in the middle of the city mainly between Venezuela Avenue and Jose de la Riva Agüero Avenue, two very busy avenues in the city of Lima.

One of the things that call the attention of this park is that it offers the possibility to experience the different geographies of the Peruvian territory, it is impressive how they managed to recreate the types of vegetation of the highlands, the jungle and arid areas, it goes without saying that Peru is a country with many geographical nuances.

There is a place dedicated to the national animal of Peru which is the llama, an iconic animal and easily related to the Inca country, I think it is internationally known that the llama is from that country.

There is also a place known as Huaca Cruz Blanca, a structure of archaeological interest that takes us to the past and clearly shows us how the buildings were in the thirteenth century, approximately. It is very impressive to see how such a building is preserved.

The common areas are quite extensive and allow the public of the city of Lima to relax considering the high level of stress that is experienced there, I know firsthand that it is a busy city with traffic that can become unbearable. So, the large lake, the walkways and the green grass are undoubtedly spaces for the healthy enjoyment of visitors.

Writing this post awoke in me a lot of nostalgia, Lima is a city that I miss and honestly I would like to go back someday, it will not be easy, but I will do my best to go again to visit the great city that, although I know it can be complicated and stressful, it offers a universe of possibilities to have a good time, I spent 6 wonderful years there that I will never forget.
