The streets I traversed were mostly clean, dotted with plazas and walkways that connect the neighborhoods and public life, at the rhythm of motorcycles, the preferred mode of transport in this area. It is common to see entire families moving around on these low-cost vehicles.

I passed by a walkway where there was an area designated for chess, although I didn’t see anyone playing at that moment. Further along, I found a couple engrossed in their own duel over the board in a truly unusual place.

The downtown also shows its contrasts; some abandoned buildings are interspersed with active and bustling areas, including several uninhabited houses in the heart of the urban landscape. I have always found it curious that places can be abandoned.
